************************************************************************* This Monday, 7 November at 7:30 PM in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Auditorium:
"Life on the Edge: Adélie Penguins" Chris Linder International League of Conservation Photographers Author, Science on Ice (check out the flyer online!<http://bit.ly/LinderMNS>) "Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised," wrote Apsley Cherry-Garrard of his time with the 1910 Scott expedition to the South Pole. And that's how most of us still imagine polar expeditions: stolid men with ice riming their beards risking death for scientific knowledge. But polar science has evolved over the past century. Using images from his recent book Science on Ice, photographer Chris Linder will explore how Adélie penguins—and the researchers that study them—survive and thrive at Cape Royds and Crozier, the southernmost penguin colonies in the world. Copies of Chris' new book Science on Ice will be on sale before and after the talk at Wild Birds Unlimited, and Chris will be available to sign copies. Hope to see you here! Doors open at 7:00. charles. ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
