Going to Extremes with Peter Mandel

An adventure travel journalist for The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer and
Huffington Post, Peter Mandel hunts his stories and photos in the world’s far corners, including
Antarctica, India, Egypt, Patagonia, the fjords of Norway, the mountain pathways of Japan, and the
deserts of Africa. The author of ten books, he’ll talk about his most extreme travel experiences--
experiencing a coup in Ecuador, suiting up as a theme park character, sailing on an Arctic icebreaker,
camping in the African bush, and kayaking to the Statue of Liberty--as well as about how adventure
travel turns to prose on today’s newspaper page.
