Journey Through the Arctic Refuge, Northeast Alaska
Kit DesLauriers had a dream: to be the first person to climb and ski all of
the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent. After attaining her
goal with her ascent and descent of Everest, and after becoming a mother
of two, Kit turned to explore North America's greatest wilderness, the eight
million acre Arctic Refuge.
Join Kit and her team as they ski the mountains of the Brooks Range, towing
sleds across frozen tundra where caribou roam and polar bear prowl. It's a
journey through wilderness, for the sake of wilderness, and a celebration of
a landscape that could be lost if the region is opened to oil drilling.
Doors open at the Museum at 6:30. Presentation runs from 7:00-8:00pm.
