Naturalist Lecture

We went to the 1030am Naturalist Lecture where she talked about topography of the Polynesian islands. There is a bird in New Caledonia called the Ragi which looked funky. Probably elusive though and won't see it. She talked about weather patterns in the islands and how the islands were formed, be it by volcanoes or reefs. She also talked about the smallest country (the name has already left my brain) and how they fight for climate change because their land is literally just a small strip of land with water on either side and their land is slowly sinking back into the water as a result of climate impacts. I am always impressed with her lectures.

We walked Smom to the aft of the ship and then came forward again to go back to our cabin.Read more
