On February 23 we welcome Jill Heinerth with “The Science of Cave Diving”
From technical dives deep inside underwater caves to being the first person to swim inside Antarctic icebergs, Jill Heinerth, a Fellow of the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame, collaborates with climatologists, archaeologists, biologists, and engineers worldwide.
Jill has made TV programs for the CBC, BBC and National Geographic, and has produced independent films. Her books “Into The Planet” and “The Aquanaut” were lauded by diverse voices from Oprah to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Dolly Parton. A new documentary “Diving Into The Darkness”, celebrates her life as an explorer.
A sport once tagged as the domain of adrenaline junkies, cave divers have become an important asset to scientists exploring global climate change, archaeology, water issues and unique biology. Jill Heinerth will share stories from expeditions to faraway caves around the world from Egypt to Antarctica and Bermuda to the Bahamas. She will offer a fast-paced multimedia show about tiny venomous creatures and ancient lofty stalagmites that tell the story of earth before man.
