More people have walked on the moon than have been to the places Jill Heinerth has explored right here on earth. Instead of following maps, she has blazed a trail into the planet exploring lava tubes beneath the ocean floor, submerged caves inside icebergs, and the deepest recesses of the world’s oceans. As a cave diving explorer, Jill’s work takes her to the most remote corners of the planet.

Join Jill Heinerth, Explorer-in-Residence, The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, for a dynamic online talk where she will inspire audiences to reach beyond their limitations, challenge the unknown, and overcome their fears. She will share remarkable experiences and lessons learned in the deadly arena of extreme underwater exploration and adventure filmmaking.

Learn how being an explorer has provided her with lessons on discovery learning, collaboration strategies, and how this mindset can be used by anyone to help transcend fear, learn from failure, and achieve success.
