Wildlife Biologist Chet Ogan will present images and vivid descriptions of his trip to Antarctica in January 2010. His talk will cover the 18-day voyage among albatrosses, penguins, flightless ducks, big bad giant petrels, toothy leopard seals, whales, and icebergs, with the jovial comaraderie of 50 other adventurers. The ship visited the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, mainland Antarctica, and the Erebus and Terror Gulf, and everyone survived to tell about it.

Chet has been involved in wildlife habitat restoration at Pacific Coast Joint Venture and the Wildlife Society. He has a B.A. degree in Natural Resources from Humboldt State University.
