It started with a couple of presentations in November and December, and in January, Birgit Lutz and I joined forces and created the online presentation series “The Arctic Wednesday”. Next Wednesday, 28 April, the current series will come to an end, when the Swiss polar adventurer Thomas Ulrich takes up to the highest latitudes. “Arctic Solo” is the dramatic story of a North Pole Expedition that brought Thomas into dangerous and desperate situations – ant it is the story of Thomas finding a way out and to continue stronger than ever.
Thomas Ulrich: “Arctic Solo”. A dramatic adventure as the final highlight of the arctic online presentation series “The Arctic Wednesday”.
Where Birgit and I, with contributions by Udo Zoephel (the MOSAiC-expedition), Sandra Walser (Hans Beat Wieland/Wilhelm Bade) and Henry Páll Wulff (Iceland), focussed on knowledge of different arctic areas and various chapters of the regional history, Thomas will take us out into the wild! A final highlight that were a really excited about, and we hope that many of you will join us!
In the presentation “Arctic Solo”, we will encounter a lot of ice, icy temperatures and definitely a polar bear every now and then.
The project “The Arctic Wednesday” has developed with amazing force and it has kept us busy for several months. It has carried us through a period that is not the easiest of all times for the travel industry, especially for self-employed/freelance guides/expedition leaders/authors/photographers who often can not count on public support during the corona crisis. So the “Arctic Wednesday” has been a project of vital importance for us – a big, warm, heart-felt “thank you” to everybody who has joined us on Wednesday evenings since early January! We will continue, that’s pretty sure. But after next Wednesday’s presentation, it is time for a break. Both Birgit and I have got other projects that do require our attention, and let’s hop that the arctic summer will give us the chance to travel again. Fingers crossed!
