Antarctica — The Deep Freezer of the World and the Kingdom of the Penguins
A lecture by Cecilia Vanman
In the lecture, adventurer, marine mammal biologist and expedition leader take
Cecilia Vanman audiences in on a fascinating sailing to it
Antarctic continent where one meets a true cornucopia
of wildlife, and overwhelming nature.
We sail between giant icebergs, visit alive
volcanoes and abandoned whaling stations where seals have moved into
empty houses, and penguins wander the streets. Through
Cecilias' tale, stunning photos, video and audio recordings
when we get close to the sea lions' overpowering talk, they feel
huge humpback whales turn in the sea, following orcas
dramatic seal hunt and coming upon the close hold of a colony of several
hundreds of thousands of king penguins.
Besides being a member of Female Adventurers, Cecilia is the
The first Danish woman to be admitted as a Fellow in the
Explorers Club — the world's most prestigious club
for scientists and adventurers. Cecilia has sailed as
expedition leader both along cold and hot coasts, has led three
expeditions through the Northwest Passage and have searched
film expeditions for, among others, Leonardo di Caprio and the National
Geographical Society.
