Call of the wild 

 

From the highest of mountains to the iciest of poles, what is it that drives people to explore the earth’s extremes?
The pursuit of knowledge? The search for riches? Conquest of territory? Missionary zeal? The thrill of the unknown? The lure of the extreme? Testing the limits of human endurance?

Why not join host Prof Rob Morrison as he asks these questions and more of Antarctic explorer and all-round adventurer Tim Jarvis? Plus hear what neuroscientist Prof Marcello Costa and researcher in sports psychology Jan Lewis have to say about thrill seeking!

This event forms part of the ‘Exploring Extremes’ mini festival in conjunction with the State Library of South Australia and the South Australian Museum. See the Science Outside the Squarewebsite for details of just what else we have for you to explore.

7pm for a 7.30pm start
