About this Event
Join us at the Leica Store Boston on Saturday, October 1, at 2:00 pm for the discussion, "Among Penguins: Life Below Zero." with author and birding researcher, Noah Strycker. Following an early morning birdwatch walk with Noah and Leica representatives, the Leica Store Boston will host a talk with Noah on his penguin research along with his photography on exhibit.
What is it like to live next to a colony of 300,000 penguins—with no fresh food or shower, in a tiny tent in Antarctica? Noah first visited the icy continent as part of a research study on Adélie and Emperor penguins, spending three months in a remote field camp. He soon found himself caught by the great allure of Antarctica—and has since returned more than 30 times, by cargo jet, helicopter, icebreaker, Zodiac, and even stand-up paddleboard, on a quest to study the world's most charismatic birds. Noah spins a variety of tales from metropolises of the frozen south, where the locals are all three feet tall and dressed for a gala. This presentation, with stunning photos and videos, will entertain kids, wildlife lovers, and veteran travelers alike.
