Speakers & Acts

Martin Lunn

Guest Speaker

**Astronomy** Martin is a lecturer in Astronomy and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. His lectures are suitable for everyone, with 'plenty of stories....just enough science'. Martin was curator of Astronomy at the Yorkshire Museum in York from 1989 until 2011 when he took early retirement. As a public astronomer he promoted astronomy at the York Observatory, which is part of the museum, including arranging open viewing evenings and special events. He also undertook astronomical research. Martin worked with North Yorkshire Education Authority and the Yorkshire Museum to produce an event called ‘Earth and Space’ which ran each autumn for six years from 1992. The event was a series of interactive workshops running over a six week period and 6,000 children participated every year. In 1998 Martin was presented with an MBE for services to astronomy and education. Before the pandemic Martin spent his time working in primary schools with his mobile Stardome Planetarium, sometimes presenting additional ‘Star Parties’; after school events where parents and children are shown the night sky. He was also regularly invited to speak to astronomical societies and other general interest groups, and is currently starting to do this from home as more societies embrace virtual meetings. Martin made a series of short films on Youtube about the planets which can be seen on the ‘Hitch Hikers Guide to the Cosmos’ page. He writes the monthly astronomy column for his local newspaper and presents a weekly astronomy show on community radio with internet listeners around the world.

ORCA

ORCA is one of the UK’s leading whale and dolphin conservation charities, dedicated to the protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises around the world. Ocean Conservationists will be showcasing the incredible diversity of wildlife that can be spotted from the deck, helping everyone learn more about the marine environment around them whilst collecting vital data about whales, dolphins and porpoises to contribute to their protection. Whilst on board, the team will be delivering activities to help guests learn more about these amazing animals as well as the threats they face, including the Ambassador & ORCA pledge and the first ever cruise "Anti-whaling" campaign.

What to expect on this sailing... Norway is an area we have studied for over 15 years and is increasingly an important habitat for different species including one of the world's most iconic species, orca. Data collection in Norway is important to monitor the impact of commercial whaling on minke whale populations.. Sailing back through the Shetland Islands also gives another chance to see orca.
