May 15, 2024 • 5:30-7 PM JON TURK
Cartography Comes Alive on May 15th will feature Jon Turk, a renowned explorer recognized as one of the Top Ten Adventurers of the Year by National Geographic. He is known for his incredible storytelling abilities that bring fascinating adventures to life. At this event, he will present a captivating presentation on Exploring in the Footsteps of the Ancients. As a professional adventurer, Jon thought it would further his career if he could paddle across the Pacific Ocean in a standard, off-the-shelf kayak. Halfway through the expedition, he encountered Moolynaut, the Koryak shaman, and Kutcha the Raven messenger. My pursuit of high adventure intensified, imbuing the essence of the journeys with exciting new meanings and focus. In this presentation, we will retrace daring journeys across oceans and ice fields, delving into ancient paths and discoveries.
