SUMMARY:Wild Water Whales - Online Talk
DESCRIPTION:New scientific discoveries about the population biology\, connections\, habitat use and health status of whales in sub-Antarctic South Georgia. \nSub-Antarctic South Georgia island in the South Atlantic is a key feeding ground for many whale species\, and was heavily exploited during the 20th century by whalers. Whale populations were nearly eradicated by the 1960s\, but in recent years\, whales have become a common sight again. \nThe Wild Water Whales project is an international collaboration led by the British Antarctic Survey which aims to understand the population recovery\, health\, habitat use and migratory connections of right whales recovering in South Georgia waters. Along the way\, this project has made discoveries about other species\, also reporting high numbers of humpback whales and encountering a number of critically endangered Antarctic blue whales. \nOver two webinars\, hosted by the South Georgia Heritage Trust\, the project team will describe the new findings and scientific activities arising from this project. After each presentation\, there is time scheduled to ask questions using the Q&A tool. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Page

SUMMARY:Gilbert White Shackleton Talk Online by John Dudeney
DESCRIPTION:“This talk provides a new historical perspective on Sir Ernest Shackleton’s amazing adventure in the Weddell Sea – of brave hopes\, hopes dashed\, shipwreck and castaway\, and ultimate survival. But in doing so\, it will draw on previously unknown information from a century ago held in the UK National Archives which was recently uncovered by the speaker and his co-workers. The documents so discovered throw a rather different light the behaviour of both Shackleton and the British Government than the popular accounts provide. This is particularly the case concerning the attempts to find out what had happened to Shackleton and his men\, and then\, when he reappeared in the Falklands\, to rescue the castaways on Elephant Island. It will also bring the “forgotten” men of the Ross Sea party into the limelight.”
