Polar Explorer Talk
Saturday 14 November
11:00am – 12:30pm
From a council house to the arctic ocean. Join us at Dundreggan to hear the tales from Jim McNeill, an experienced polar explorer who has travelled across the most extreme environments for over 40 years.
With his many years of experience he’s helped over 500 people become polar pioneers and taught them the skills to gather crucial climate data with the Ice Warrior Project and continues to pioneer research with Ocean warrior, the same spirit beneath the waves.
Thrilling, comedic and unapologetically down to earth, Jim shares what polar environments have taught him about leadership, trust, community and performing under pressure.
