Sir Ernest Shackleton and the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration

At the moment, the September Coffee Talk is full. If you would like to join the waitlist, please call us at 847-391-5399 or email us at [email protected]. Ken Levine will discuss Ernest Shackleton's life and his four expeditions to the Antarctic. What makes his lectures different from others is that he includes various tidbits about some of the other members of his expeditions. Some of these members are well known (Frank Wild and Frank Worsely) and some are not (William Bakewell). Levine has been to Antarctica four times and visited museums and other exhibitions about this subject in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Argentina, Chile, Australia and New Zealand. The 2026 Coffee Talk Series is generously supported by Village Bank & Trust.
