Antarctica is the most remote, inhospitable, and untamed wilderness on the planet. Despite this harsh facade, this southernmost continent has been scarred by human activity. Currently the Antarctic Peninsula is warming more rapidly than nearly any other region on the planet. A combination of environmental stresses threatens the structure and function of the Antarctic ecosystem and the survival of many species that are uniquely adapted for life in such a hostile environment. In this talk Ari Friedlaender will share his experiences as a scientist, artist, and educator to see below the surface and present a fragile but resilient Antarctica.
