About this Event
Join us at the Shackleton flagship store in Piccadilly as we host the face of our collaboration with Leica, the world-renowned explorer, photographer and film-maker, Levison Wood, for an exclusive Q&A session. We look forward to hearing the captivating stories of some Levison's daring expeditions and gain insight into his experiences navigating and documenting some of the world's most challenging terrains. From walking the length of the Nile to trekking the Himalayas, tracking the last remaining desert lions of Namibia to increasingly elusive polar bears in Greenland, many of Levison's adventures on screen have been even more extensively documented through his own lens. This is a unique opportunity to interact with a true modern-day explorer and hear firsthand accounts of his remarkable journeys.
