Navigating at both Poles, now and then....

Presented by Tim Medhurst OAM and Development and Infrastructure Senior Consultant with Binna Burra Lodge.  Tim would be familiar to most members in RGSQ as he has presented at RGSQ and up at the Binna Burra Teahouse on the rebuilding of Binna Burra Lodge.

As a surveyor and glaciologist, Tim led scientific expeditions for over 5000km in Antarctica in 1983-4.  More recently Tim skied to the north geographic pole (in 2010) and north magnetic pole (in 2019), both as fundraising expeditions.  Tim will explore the many geographical differences between the north and south poles as well as between expedition types and navigation techniques 40 years apart.
