NZ-US Mapping in Antarctica
President Donna introduced Graeme Blick who talked about 40 years of mapping in partnership between the USA and NZ in Antarctica (making good use of his blue balloon to demonstrate various aspects of the potentially catastrophic results of global warming). In 2002 Graeme was awarded the American Polar Medal for services to mapping in Antarctica and Mount Blick has been named after him. Graeme's knowledge of the area is extensive and we could have listened for hours - and wished there would have been enough time for questions, but that's for another day.
