One of 16 upcoming events at Des Plaines History Center, and 711 across Chicago.
From Des Plaines History Center
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 timesand 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.
