\"\"Mike O’Shea, Irish mountaineer, adventurer and mountain safety consultant came through Nouakchott on Friday 30th<\/sup> March. He was travelling from Dublin to Cape Town overland on a new expedition. HIE was <\/span>privileged that he and his companion, David Gleason found time to talk to students.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

His latest expedition takes him through Congo-Brazzaville which is rarely visited. However, he spoke most about his exploits in the cold rather than the tropics such as the Arctic and Siberia with their challenges.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

He answered questions from students and instructors. For example, he explained he came closest\u00a0 to death on\u00a0 ice \"\"floe in the Arctic Sea drifting away from the pack-ice.<\/p>\n

HIE appreciate Red Chair Recruitment’s help in setting up this event.<\/p>\n
