Dr Bill Block is an Emeritus Fellow at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and worked for some 25 years on the effects of the cold on polar insects, with fieldwork in both the Arctic ands Antarctic. With his wide experience, Bill gave an extremely interesting talk about Antarctica, covering many branches of scientific study and research and the changes that have taken place over the years. He was able to illustrate this with superb photographs and detailed information.
Not only has Bill enjoyed a full career with BAS, but now in retirement he lectures on study trips run by two specialist organisations and is fortunate enough to be able to return to Antarctica up to six times each year.
Well over 50 people attended the presentation, making it very profitable and in appreciation of such an interesting evening, a donation was made to the UK Antarctica Heritage Trust.
