Feb 21, 2016 – Virtual ecotour of the Svalbard Archipelago, 6:45 PM, University Place Library.
Join Eric Dudley and your ABC friends for an ecotour of the Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic north of Norway: summertime above the Arctic Circle! Traveling by ship to circumnavigate Spitsbergen, enjoy spectacular scenery, including glaciers, fjords, icebergs and even Arctic desert. Various arctic mammals, such as foxes, reindeer, walrus and polar bears are seen, but emphasis will be on the varied bird life to be seen in an area so very different from our Pacific Northwest, but beautiful in its unique way.
Eric is one of our own, a Tacoma veterinarian, graduate of the Advanced Birding Class, and a board member of WOS. He’s sure to give us a personalized experience. Maybe we’d better dress warmly for this far north experience!
