Chautauqua Rails to Trails Antarctica presentation set for Thursday

Chautauqua Rails to Trails would like to invite trail and nature lovers to a presentation, “Antarctica: A Day in the Life With David Akin.” Akin is a member of the Board of Directors of Chautauqua Rails to Trails. This will take place on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Bellinger Hall on the grounds of Chautauqua Institution.

Akin, a Chautauqua native, has spent ten seasons working in Antarctica, and among his many responsibilities, he has worked very hard to improve many segments of a well-established hiking trail system, the Ross Island Trail System, at McMurdo Station and Scott Base. He will share his knowledge and experience about his life and work there. There will be opportunities to ask questions.

Due to the fact that the Chautauqua “season” will have concluded, guests are advised to drive into the Main Gate and head west (left) to the destination. No gate passes or car passes are required. Parking is available close to the venue.

Chautauqua Rails to Trails, a non-profit organization, will welcome a $5 donation from each attendee. Board members invite all interested individuals, on and off the grounds, to this sharing of an extraordinary and relevant experience.
