TREK THROUGH KASHMIR IS TOPIC FOR SLU PRESENTATION

CANTON – National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) representative Dave 
Anderson will give a slide presentation on his recent journey to the 
Zanskar Valley in the Kashmir region of India on Tuesday, March 2, at 
7 p.m. in the Laurentian Room of the Student Center at St. Lawrence 
University. The event is open to the public, free of charge.
	Anderson spent a month trekking along the frozen Zanskar River, 
ice climbing, exploring the natural history, cultural wonders and the 
impact of tourism in the Zanskar Valley. The only winter access is a 
60-mile trek up the semi-frozen Zanskar River. 
A new road to be of strategic importance is now being built and funded 
by the military and it is expected that within the next year the Zanskar 
Valley will have year-round vehicle access, changing the way of life 
of the Zanskar people forever.
