Nuorolinės paskaitos.

Šios savaitės paskaita - Expedition to the End of the World: Neblina, Duida and the Western Tepuis.

Meeting ID: 893 9300 8526

Aprašymas:
In 2004, I was very fortunate to take part in (what remains) by far, the most epic expedition I have been involved in (out of 300+ expeditions). With two friends, I charted two helicopters and two cessnas to transport fuel, and set out to reach Neblina, Aracamuni, Avisa, Aratityope Duida and other Western Tepuis.

We set out to rediscover several lost carnivorous plant species (Drosera meristocaulis, Heliamphora macdonaldae, H. neblina, H. parva and the possible carnivorous orchid Aracamunia).

We reached mountains (which still today, less than 10 people have ever stood on), met fascinating Amerindian tribes little impacted by the outside world, encountered iridescent-blue Stegolepis hitchcockii, a near run in with a deadly fer-de-lance snake and even had an unfortunate machette incident along the way!

This talk is all about travel to EXTREMELY remote locations, amazing plants, interesting animals, danger and adventure!

Darwin200 live lecture from one of UK's remotest islands - today at 2pm UK time
Stewart McPherson is Project Lead for Darwin200, which is currently half way through circumnavigating the UK on stunning tall ship, Pelican of London, with specialist environmental scientists onboard to mentor a group of 10 young scientists conducting a health check of the UK waters.

Live lecture from Outer Hebrides

Stewart will conduct Darwin200's inaugural live lecture, today at 2pm UK time, from The Isle of Lewis. The island is the largest of the Outer Hebrides archipelago and home to 5000 years-old Calanais Standing Stones, pre-dating Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids!

Stewart will also show you some old Scottish stone dwellings, an incredible whalebone arch and take you on a tour of our ship, so why not join us and find out about what we've been up to!
