A TRIP TO ANTARCTICA WITH FRAN DREW
@Library of The Chathams Time: 7 p.m.
In 1973 Lars-Eric Lindblad offered a trip on his ship, the Lindblad Explorer, to the Antarctic, a place no company had ever taken tourists before. Chatham resident Fran Drew and her sister Rosanne Maraziti were among 60 residents from eleven countries who traveled as far south as possible, crossing the “roaring forties,” the roughest passage in the world where three oceans meet and waves are 40 feet high. It took two days to get across from the trip of South America to the Antarctic Peninsula to view a landscape previously seen only seasoned explorers and researchers. Fran will share that experience and show a short film she made in Antarctica. www.chathamlibrary.org
