Polar Worlds

Based on Brian’s expeditions to the Arctic, geographic North Pole and Antarctic Peninsula, this richly illustrated day course looks at the last remaining wildernesses on the planet – the polar regions. You will learn about and see the incredible landscapes of ice, snow and towering icebergs, plus the unique wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, albatrosses and penguins that have adapted to survive in these fragile and most inhospitable environments. The day will end looking at the man-made threats to these unique places, such as pollution, global warming and eco-destruction, but, more importantly, will discuss what can be done to protect and preserve our polar wildernesses.
