| 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. |

Greenland
with Stephanie Gardner
Saturday Mar 29, 2025
Join Stephanie Gardner as she shares her travel adventures in Greenland to run the Polar Bear Challenge: a marathon and a half on Greenland 's ice sheet. Stephanie traveled from Copenhagen, Denmark to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland; a town of 500 people originally built in 1941 by the United States as a military base, later turned into the country 's international airport. 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.
