Arctic Travelogue
The
Dennos Museum Center is sponsoring a tour of the Canadian Arctic in August
or September 2009 in partnership with Adventure Canada Tours. Terry Tarnow
will present a travelogue on Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 4:00 pm in the Dutmers
Theatre. Tarnow has traveled to the Arctic twice with Adventure Canada:
"My trips with Adventure Canada were incredible. I met many Inuit
Artists and saw so much Canadian wildlife including polar bears, walrus,
whales and birds." The trips include a resource team made up of Inuit
artists and scholars, botanists, biologists, photographers, geologists
and more. This is more than just a cruise, it is a complete educational
experience. For more information on the trip contact Terry Tarnow, (231)
