The Wonderful World of Penguins Lecture

There are few creatures on earth that can make a room full of adults smile like children again—but penguins manage it effortlessly.

International photographer Gary Krosin invites guests into the icy, playful, and surprisingly charismatic world of these remarkable animals. Drawing from his global travels, Gary presents breathtaking close-up photographs that capture penguins in moments of curiosity, humor, tenderness, and resilience—images made possible only through patience, passion, and countless hours spent quietly behind the lens.

More than a photography presentation, this visually rich program offers a rare, personal glimpse into the lives of penguins in their natural habitats. Guests will discover fascinating insights into penguin species, behaviors, and survival in some of the planet’s most extreme environments, while hearing firsthand stories from Gary’s extraordinary journeys to photograph them.
