This will be the 11th in the series of Armchair Travel courses offered over the last ten years. This time we are concentrating on distant and remote sites that feature impressive scenery and lots of wildlife. The places visited will include: Patagonia; Papua New Guinea; Greenland, Baffin Island, and Churchill, Manitoba; the Galapagos and other islands in the eastern Pacific; Midway Island and Palau; Antarctica, including the Falkland Islands and South Georgia; Fiji in the Pacific and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean; and the Canadian Rockies. If there is time, we may visit sites in Alaska, northern Maine, and the Caribbean islands. Some pictures taken while scuba diving will be shown. Optional readings will be available. For each site there will be introductory materials given to the class.

  • There is no required reading.
