- When: December 12, 2013, 19:00 – 21:00
Repeat meeting with Mirek Jakeš, who has reached the North Pole several times. Initiates often speak about “Northern sickness”, i.e., the inability of travellers and adventurers to break free of the polar wilderness once they have visited once and succumbed to its harsh magic.
They just have to keep returning. The Antarctic, the Arctic, Greenland, Svalbard, Baffin Island, Tierra del Fuego… how to get there and, above all, how to get back. Karel Schwarzenberg has described Mirek Jakeš as an “exceptional man who has achieved extraordinary things.”
