Last spring a friend and I participated in our first National Geographic Live presentation. I say participated in because by the end of the 90-minute event about the underwater world photographed by two experts, we thought we had been diving around the globe!
I encourage anyone and everyone to checkout this first presentation and purchase your tickets as soon as possible. Also see the remainder of the schedule.
National Geographic Live announces the 19th season of its Seattle Speaker Series at Benaroya Hall. Demand for the National Geographic Live series at Benaroya Hall in Seattle has grown each year and this expanded 2015–2016 season begins three months earlier than previous years.
The longer season kicks off on Nov. 1 with a 2 p.m. matinee in the large S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium with “Into Africa’s Okavango: Measuring a Mighty Wilderness,” featuring National Geographic explorers Steve Boyes and Jer Thorp. Two additional evening presentations of “Into Africa’s Okavango” will be held Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
