North: Reflections on the Arctic

Matthew Higgins

Drawing on two recent journeys to the Canadian Arctic and Greenland, Matthew Higgins will be giving an illustrated presentation called ‘North: reflections on the Arctic’, at the CSIRO Discovery Centre, Canberra, on Saturday 11 May at 1.30pm. Centred around the theme of climate, the talk will address the Arctic land/seascape, plants, wildlife, exploration of the North-West Passage, Inuit prehistory and material culture, Inuit and Greenlandic life today, and climate change (all in an hour or so!).

The event is free and bookings are not necessary. Further details on CSIRO’s website.
