Antartica adventures

     On Wednesday February 28th we heard the great tales of the travels of Cate Grinney. Cate set off on her adventure to visit her 7th continent, Antarctica! Cate traveled with her father to check this off their bucket list. Cate shared with us many images and videos from her trip.
 
     She educated us on Antarctica and some of the surrounding land masses. Antarctica is not the Artic. Antarctica is extremely mountainous and there are no land mammals there. It is the 5th largest continent and it is 98%-99% ice. The continent is protected by the Antarctic Treaty which promotes peach and science. There is no residence of Antarctica only the scientist that come and go and study while they are there.
 
     Cate is a lover of photography and animals. Her photos and videos she shared included penguins, seals, birds in flight and whales. She also included some amazing shots of icebergs and shorelines.
     
     Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us. I think most Rotarians were considering the trip of a lifetime after you shared with us! Thank you, Cate!
