The Nelson Adventure Speaker Series is pleased to announce a very special guest, Lynn Martel, Writer in Residence with the 2025 UN International Year of Glaciers Preservation, and the author of Stories of Ice: Adventure, Commerce and Creativity on Canada’s Glaciers, will speak in Nelson on January 31 at the Nelson United Church at 7pm.
Lynn will share stories and present photos from Stories of Ice. The book chronicles the glacial exploits of a series of fascinating individuals—explorers, professional guides, tourism operators, scientists, artists, filmmakers—and in the process, weaves together the rich history of Western Canada’s glaciers.
As Writer in Residence with the 2025 UN International Year of Glaciers Preservation, Lynn will also share how the initiative aims to recognize and celebrate all that our glaciers and icefields give us, and ways to prepare for how their melting will affect us.
Tickets are $10 each and available online at Eventbrite.com: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-with-lynn-martel-tickets-1141348878219
Tickets will also be available at the door, but it’s recommended to purchase ahead online as Nelson Adventure Speaker Series events typically sell out in advance. Books will be on sale at the event, and Lynn will sign them immediately following her presentation.
