Zoom Webinar – Antarctica Travelogue

February 18, 2023 at 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm PST

On Saturday, February 18th, 2023, at 3 pm, join J.R. Blair, retired lecturer from San Francisco State University, on Zoom for his “Antarctica Travelogue.” From the comfort of our chairs, we will travel to the southern tip of South America, the Falkland Islands, and Antarctica to see and visit many of the places from which J.R. Blair has recently returned. He will highlight the birds and sea mammals of the southern hemisphere with excellent photographs and videos. This lecture should prove to be a fascinating journey. Do join us.
