Risk Takers: Pushing the Limits

by National Geographic Pressroom — last modified Dec 02, 2014 11:38 AM
Why do we do it? What makes an explorer face danger and yet press on when others would turn back? Inspired by an article in the September 2013 National Geographic, a panel moderated by writer Pat Walters will reveal why they put themselves in jeopardy in pursuit of their mission. Participants include virologist Victoria Jensen, herpetologist and National Geographic 2010 Emerging Explorer Zoltan Takacs, archaeologist and National Geographic Fellow Sarah Parcak, extreme filmmaker and kayaker Trip Jennings, and climber Peter “Mr. Everest” Athans.
