Please join us for Lunch & Learn on Cape Horn, the Falklands, South Georgia Island and the Antarctic Peninsula. Greg and Carla Vassmer spent three weeks aboard the National Geographic Explorer expedition ship and have just returned. While we head into winter, it is springtime in the Southern Hemisphere, dandelions are sprouting on Cape Horn and the birds are courting and nesting all the way into Antarctica. But it is not warm exactly. The water and air are below freezing and winds gust to gale force thanks to the unique climate and geography and a sun that never gets very high. Greg will provide a glimpse of the Antarctic region, its flora and fauna and a bit of its history.Greg Vassmer is a member of the Winnebago Park District Board and a 32 year resident of Winnebago. He has traveled to 6 of 7 continents and lived in China and Europe for several years. Though retired, Greg is an avid long distance bikepacker and frequent rider on our Pecatonica Prairie Trail.
