The area has since been used for radar detection during the Cold War, a weather station, and scientific research on glaciers and ice cores. We 'll also hear about Ilulissat, a coastal town in Western Greenland which has a very high concentration of icebergs, and is home to many working sled dogs. Stephanie will share some information she learned about Greenland 's history, politics, language, and culture while running through this stunning landscape. |

Bear will relate how they explored living on the land in harmony with the natural beauty that surrounded them. You will learn about their experience of delivering their baby girl.

| Azores | Sat May 03 | Slide Show | Ken Collins | The Azores are 9 small volcanic islands, out in the Atlantic Ocean, almost 1,000 miles west of Portugal, spread over 300 miles. They were first "discovered " by the Portuguese beginning in the 15th century and are now an autonomous region of that country as well as the westernmost outpost of the European Union. The islands were uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived, and developed a unique culture. Subtropical, with a diverse spectrum of plants they have an overall greenness that is dazzling to the eye. This presentation is based on an exploration I made with my husband, Bob Zimmerman, in October 2024. We visited 4 of the 9 islands. The program will attempt to give a glimpse of these magnificent but relatively unknown specks in the ocean. |
