Tuesday 25 June 2019

 

Phil Wickens

Phil is a landscape, wildlife and adventure photographer, as well as an accomplished mountaineer, who has regularly visited both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Earlier this year a group of six skiers traversed along the central and narrowest sections of the Antarctic Peninsula, the first and only people to do so on ski since Wally Herbert’s first traverse, using dog teams, in 1957. Phil will talk about this expedition, and about some of the other many ascents and ski descents he has made in Antarctica.

Please note that any non-Alpine Club member wishing to attend this lecture on the 25th June 2019 will need to contact the Club's Office Manager by 12 noon on Friday 21st June 2019 to obtain a ticket for the lecture via This email address is being protected from spambots.
