Climate change educator Will Steger to speak at Duke

When it comes to the effects of climate change on earth's polar regions, Will Steger knows his stuff. First hand.

From his bio:
Steger led the first confirmed dogsled journey to the North Pole without re-supply (1986), the 1,600-mile south-north traverse of Greenland (the longest unsupported dogsled
expedition in history in 1988), the first dogsled traverse of Antarctica (the historic seven month, 3,471-mile International Trans-Antarctica Expedition in 1989-90), and the first dogsled traverse of the Arctic Ocean in one season from Russia to Ellesmere Island in Canada (1995).

He'll be speaking at Duke on Thursday, January 24th, at 4 pm. I'll have more details over the next few days.

I'm also working on putting together a liveblogging sessions with Steger, depending on his schedule. It'll most likely be hosted at BlueNC.

Stay tuned.
