An Antarctic experience is available this month through a special
exhibition at Hopkins Hall. Fresh from the OSU archives, David Abbey
Paige's historical pastel drawings of the polar region will be gracing
the gallery beginning today until October 29. Also on exhibition will be
other Antarctic experiences for inquisitive minds.

"Passion and Visions: Antarctica" will be crowned by 60 drawings of
Antarctica created by the Armenian American artist. These images were
produced when he accompanied Richard Byrd on his second polar exhibition
between 1933-1935.

As a special guest presented by the Byrd Polar Research Center, OSU will
be welcoming Osborn to the Knowlton Hall auditorium on October 27 at
4:30 p.m., where the Finnish born artist will talk about polar
representation.

According to Gill, there will be some old video footage shot by
Paramount rolling on continuous play at the expedition. The video
consists of about an hour and a half of footage of the 1933 expedition.

To get an idea of current Antarctic geography, there will also be the
most recent RADARSAT images of Antarctica selected from the Byrd Polar
Research Center.

There will be also be opportunities to have informal guides explain the
exhibit to the guests of Hopkins Hall.

On October 12 at 12:30 p.m., director of OSU's Byrd archives, Dr. Rai
Goerler, along with Kissel, will be discussing the second Byrd
expedition and the drawings of Paige.

On October 19 at 12:30 p.m., Geographical Sciences director, Garry
McKenzie, along with retired Byrd Research associate, Henry Brecher,
will be giving an informal talk about the art of making maps of
Antarctica, called cartography.

As part of the Antarctic theme, OSU will be welcoming Barry Lopez,
author of the National Book Award winning "Arctic Dreams," to Hughes
Hall auditorium on October 26 at 7:30 p.m. Lopez is considered one of
the nation's premier nature writers. His writings are known for their
attention to the relationship between human culture and natural landscapes.
