Our second Freezing Woman 8 keynote speaker is paleobiologist Natalia Rybczynski. Her fieldwork turned up a 3.5 million year old camel in the High Arctic and a fossil seal that fills a gap in how land mammals became sea mammals. Join us Saturday, November 21st to hear her talk.

Jennifer Kingsley has been traveling in the Arctic for more than twenty years. She is a National Geographic Explorer, journalist, and renowned storyteller. In 2005, she paddled 50 days across the Nunavut wilderness to the Arctic Ocean, a trip she wrote about in Paddlenorth. Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award, now she's bringing that same gift for storytelling to Freezing Woman 8.

As a cave diver and explorer, Jill Heinerth collaborates with scientists to film and document extreme environments, including her historic first-ever exploration inside an Antarctic iceberg.
