DESCRIPTION: 
Photographer and explorer Stuart Klipper has, over the past 40 plus years, made multiple forays into Polar Regions -- at sea, on land, and on ice. He will offer some comments about his recent voyage to the North Pole in 2009, the centennial anniversary year of Peary and Henson's "attainment" of the Pole. His talk will concentrate on his work and experiences in the Antarctic where he has traveled to six times over the course of 13 years. Klipper will showcase the photographs included in his recently published book, THE ANTARCTIC: From the Circle to the Pole. This talk will enhance the new MMAM exhibit opening April 13th titled "Across the Polar Sea: With Robert E. Peary on the North Pole Expedition 1909-1909."
Born in The Bronx in 1941, Klipper attended the University of Michigan and lived in NYC and Stockholm, but currently resides in Minneapolis. He has, to date, made six visits to Antarctica to photograph. On several occasions Klipper has also worked in the Far North: Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Alaska, and Lapland (where he photographed the regions irradiated by fallout from the Chernobyl disaster). In July 2009 he 'attained' the North Pole. This achievement has made him officially 'Bi-Polar'. He has been at the South Pole four times over. Only approximately 400 human beings have visited both Poles.
