Antarctica is sometimes called "the last great wilderness." Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are home to iconic megafauna like whales, penguins and seals; this cold and majestic ecosystem also plays a vital role in regulating climate and driving ocean currents that affect weather patterns around the world. In March of 2022 Julia was sponsored by Onward Energy to travel to Antarctica with the 2041 Foundation to learn about the continent and how we can preserve it in the future. Join us to hear Julia's story and engage in conversation to better understand how Antarctica is a part of your story as well.
