Steve Kentish: Expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula
Tuesday 13 June 2023, 07:30pm
Tuesday 13 June 2023
In this joint AC/ASC lecture Steve will recount his 2022-2023 ASC ski tour trip to Antarctica.
After a couple of delays due to Covid, the team finally set off for the Antarctic peninsula in December 2022, sailing from Ushuaia on a specially-equipped 18m yacht. After setting up campsites on the peninsula as bases from which to explore and attempt unclimbed peaks, they soon discovered that Antarctica's reputation as a tough, forbidding environment is well-deserved.
Steve will discuss how the team dealt with challenges including technical failures and extreme weather, often at unsociable hours, which turned the expedition into a rather 'exciting' adventure.
The talk will be held at the Alpine Club's premises at 55 Charlotte Road, London, EC2A 3QF from 7PM on 13 June 2023.
