Jon Turk opens new season of Booked!
The intrepid Jon Turk is set to open a new season of Booked! Fernie Writers’ Series on September 15 with his new title, Crocodiles and Ice: A Journey into Deep Wild.
Featuring Turk’s award-winning polar expedition around Ellesmere Island by kayak and skis, Crocodiles and Ice invites readers to unplug and listen to the lesser-known wisdom, to our Stone-Age ancestors, a wolf that lingers, a Siberian shaman, to nature –all to find our true place in it.
Beyond the wondrous and seductive opulence of our oil-soaked, internet-crazed, consumer-oriented society, there lies a glorious and sustainable lifestyle that is based on Deep Wild as a foundation of solace, sanity, compassion, and hope.
Jon Turk has also engaged in numerous extreme outdoor expeditions. Jon’s circumnavigation of Ellesmere Island was nominated by National Geographic as one of the top 10 adventures of 2011. He has written three books chronicling his physical passages and the spiritual journey toward a Consciousness Revolution. When not out travelling, Turk divides his time between his time between Fernie and Darby, Montana.
Jon Turk – Crocodiles and Ice : A Journey into Deep Wild at Fernie Heritage Library on September 15 from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
