SWISS SLIDE SHOW ABOUT ANTARCTICA

Antarctica, a multivision-slide show, recently launched a tour of 43 cities and towns of Switzerland, sponsored by Quark Expeditions.

The show, which started in Zurich at the end of September 2001, is the work of photographer Heiner Kubny, whose hobby developed into a passion after he took part in five expeditions to Antarctica. Out of his desire to share the beauty he encountered there, the Antarctica multivision-slide show was put together, featuring original music and German narration. The show moves around Switzerland until February 2002, finishing in St. Gallen; if successful, there are plans to export the show to other European countries.
