Arctic Journeys in an Era of Climate Change

Alaska Wilderness League is hosting a free event at Monmouth University's Forbes College on Tuesday, September 29.

Join Iowa native David Thoreson on an evening of historic sailing voyages and a discussion of climate change. Thoreson will speak about his travels and first hand observations of how climate change is impacting our Arctic. In 2007, photographer/videographer David Thoreson was onboard the first American sailboat to successfully navigate the frigid waters connecting the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Thoreson again sailed the Northwest Passage from West to East during the summer of 2009 becoming the first American sailor in history to traverse the infamous passage in both directions.
