[BlindTlk] Welcome to Earth

[pmdonahue2 at gmail.com]

Good morning everyone,

 

                Welcome to Earth is a National Geographic series on the
origin and creation of our planet 

hosted by Will Smith.The series also explores how our planet supports life.
Many aspects of life on Earth 

are explored. What is of interest to us here is one of the participating
explorers is none other than Eric 

Weihenmeyer. Recall that Eric successfully summited Mt. Everest in 2001 and
has gone on to have other 

awesome adventures and is involved in scientific studies of life on Earth.
Eric shares insight into how he 

as a blind explorer and outdoorsman can enjoy nature via his other senses
and how he cultivated this 

skill. We found it quite fascinating. Having a blind person included in this
docuseries is a wonderful 

example of the work of the NFB.

 

                This series is available on Disney Plus and includes audio
description. If you're a Disney Plus 

subscriber and enjoy programs about life on Earth check this one out. All
the best for a happy Easter, 

Ramadan,  or Passover.
