From the Field
The magazine that transports us from our couch to far away locations gets a little more real.
From the page to the stage, the Epcor Centre hosts National Geographic Live, a four-part speaker series that has the explorers behind the famous magazine talking about their discoveries.
The series starts Tuesday, January 17 with underwater photographer Brian Skerry who dives deep to get images of ocean life that include remote waters in the South Pacific and under the iced-over surfaces of Antarctica. As he talks, his pics will be projected on a big screen over the stage of the Jack Singer Concert Hall. The series continues February 2, March 13 and April 25 with a different speaker each evening.
The lecture series lets us be armchair adventurers. —Jaelyn Molyneux
