S.C. Attorney helped lead Denali to Prince William Sound Expedition for NatGeo
CAMDEN, S.C. – Environmental attorney and global expedition leader Tom Mullikin was in Alaska last week as a “National Geographic Expert” for National Geographic’s Denali to Prince William Sound Expedition.
The expedition – covering hundreds of miles of some of the most remote albeit beautiful terrain on the planet – took place over the span of a week with daily stops for food and lodging wherein experts like Mullikin shed light on areas traveled.
Mullikin delivered three “expert talks” over the course of the expedition, entitled:
1) Introduction to Climate Change and Associate Challenges for Alaska and the Global Community: Alaska as the Canary in the Mine
2) Significance of Denali in the Broader Consideration of Global Climate Change
3) Prince William Sound – the Beauty and impact of Climate Change
Mullikin also contributed to three separate blogs throughout the week. In one entry, he wrote, “The weather today was exceptional; the best I’ve ever enjoyed in Alaska – barely a cloud in the blue sky and the temperature in the low 60s (Fahrenheit). We spent the day traveling into the Denali National Park. Along the way, we saw grizzly bears, caribou, moose, fox and eagles. The park was alive with the sun and clear-skies highlighting Denali, the highest summit in North America and looking regal in the distance.”
A portion of his final entry stated, “From the majestic heights of Denali to the cool waters and glacier-views of Prince William Sound, the National Geographic expedition was well-organized, thoroughly educational, and it offered truly phenomenal vistas of some of the most amazing landscape in the world. I will miss my new friends, our wonderful conversations and our experiences together.”
Founded in 1888, National Geographic describes its National Geographic Expeditions as “spanning the globe” and “designed to reflect NG travelers’ broad spectrum of interests.” @natgeotravel #natgeotravel #ngexpeditions!
