Presentation Topic(s):

Expedition to Greenland

Join John and Wyn Hyzer as they take you on a PowerPoint expedition exploring the rugged and isolated coast of Greenland (SPOILER ALERT: Greenland isn’t green!)

In July 2024, we flew to Reykjavik, Iceland to spend a few days on our own in this capital city before boarding our ship to Greenland.   We spent two weeks aboard the Sylvia Earle, a 100 passenger expedition ship, as it sailed west to Greenland and continued down along its southeastern coastline and then up along its southwestern coast.  We used inflatable Zodiac boats to travel to and from the ship to explore the small Inuit villages or cruise among the icebergs in search of whales or polar bears.  We hope that this short, illustrated presentation will leave you with a taste of what we experienced.  

Feel free to bring snacks/drinks to enjoy during the meeting!
