UNION — Vose Library’s Armchair Adventure Series will present “Climbing the Seven Summits: the Highest Mountain on Each Continent” by College professor Mark Milewski from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, at the library at 392 Common Road, according to a news release from the library.
Milewski successfully summited Indonesia’s 16,024-foot Mount Carstensz Pyramid on the island of New Guinea on Aug. 15 and completed a mission he started in 2007 — to climb all Seven Summits — the highest mountain on each continent.
Milewski, as the initial Vose Library Armchair Adventure speaker, will talk about this amazing feat — approximately 160 people in the world have successfully achieved this goal, according to the release.
Refreshments and conversation will follow the talk in the main lobby.
