Into the Silence
Wednesday, February 15; 7:00 p.m.
With Wade Davis, PhD, anthropologist, ethnographer, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, and bestselling author
On June 6, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine set out from a camp perched at 23,000 feet—just below the lip of Mount Everest’s North Col. Neither of them returned. In his bestselling new book, Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest, Wade Davis tells the daring tale tracing their heroic efforts to the horrors of the Western Front during World War I.
Hear from Davis about an extraordinary generation of adventurers, soldiers, and mountaineers the likes of which we may never see again. Book signing to follow.
