Report by Heather
A
full house in St Killian’s heritage centre Mullagh greatly enjoyed Johnathan
Shackleton's talk.
Johnathan, an experienced Antarctic expedition leader, first entertained with tales of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, when men such as Scott, Amundsen and Ernest Shackleton explored Antarctica.
The talk was beautifully illustrated with shots of whales, orcas , seal species, skuas, albatrosses, petrels, and the carrion feeder the snowy sheathbill.
Johnathan admitted he was a bit of a penguin fanatic and described the different species and how the distribution is being affected by climate change.
We also saw photographic evidence of the Cavan County Flag unfurled in Antarctica!
