Explorers Club member Larry Mayer will talk about his expedition on the Swedish Icebreaker ODEN which made it to Victoria and Nordenskiold Fjords in northern Greenland, further than any ship had ever traveled before in the Lincoln Sea. Once there, the team spent several weeks mapping and making a myriad of other measurements in order to
understand the processes responsible for the rapid melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
