Abbas Nazari: Former Tampa refugee among young Kiwi explorers chosen to visit South Georgia Island

The Antarctic Heritage Trust has named their largest contingent for the ninth Inspiring Explorers Expedition. 22 explorers aged 18- 30 will travel to South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic Ocean in September. Among the young explorers is former Tampa refugee Abbas Nazari- author of acclaimed After the Tampa. He says he threw his hat in the ring for this incredible opportunity because the age cut-off was approaching. "I'm stoked to be along with 21 others heading off to South Georgia Island later this year." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
