Potluck @ 6:30pm, Slideshow @ 7:15pm.
AMC Cabot Auditorium, 4 Joy St, Boston, MA
Svalbard,
a Norwegian archipelago only 600 miles from the North Pole, is an area
of amazing beauty. Snow capped mountains, magnificent fjords, and
massive glaciers provide stunning scenery unlike any other part of the
world--except Antarctica. Add to that frequent sightings of polar bears,
reindeer, walruses, seals, puffins, and terns; as well as cliffs with
thousands of auks, guillemots and kittiwakes; and you end up with an
unforgettable experience. Come see photographs and hear story of a trip
that Ashok made to this remote area in the Arctic. He is an
award-winning photographer who has previously shared his travel
experience in Ladakh with the AMC Boston Slideshow Series. RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1p-qUc_dsetoljV29n68qAEpFSjwa4EmL68Nx7LLubJs/viewform
