Sea kayaking in Antarctica




Last Wednesday Marcus Waters (Emily Waters from LC11 Dad) talked to both the Moa and Kiwi teams about his sea kayaking adventures in Antarctic waters. He had a captivating powerpoint presentation full of photos that included wildlife shots of Gentoo Penguins and action shots of kayaking amongst the spectacular scenery. Students were also able to ask questions and find out about the conditions Marcus faced in the freezing conditions - encountering blizzards, wearing layers of clothing and surviving on dehydrated food for 35 days!
