AND
Return to the Arctic - Kari Herbert
This talk weaves together stories of native Inuit myth, historical exploration, family memoir and personal adventure, against the backdrop of the Arctic wilderness.
At 10 months, Kari was taken to the High Arctic by her father, pioneering explorer Sir Wally Herbert (the first undisputed man to walk to the North Pole) and mother, to live with a tribe of Polar Inuit on a remote island off the coast of NW Greenland. Kari has travelled ever since. She is an acclaimed writer and photographer. Her first book The Explorer’s Daughter, recounts her return to the High Arctic. She is currently writing her second book, Heart of the Hero: The Women Behind Polar Exploration
