Second Ascent to host free screening of film about small boat voyaging tonight

Tonight at Second Ascent (5209 Ballard Ave NW) there will be a free screening of a movie titled “One Simple Question – an Uncertain Journey to Find an Iceberg.” The film is a true story about a couple aboard a small sailboat in search of icebergs.

From Second Ascent:
“One Simple Question is the story of a young couple who seeking adventure, shed the comforts of land, and begin a life at sea aboard a small sailboat. Their goal is simple—sail north until they find an iceberg. But they’ll need to sail over 1600 miles before the first sign of ice. The journey takes them from the suburbs of New York to the scenic grandeur of Newfoundland and ultimately to a little known place called Iceberg Alley. What they didn’t anticipate was that they would find a massive piece of the Petermann Ice Island, the record breaking iceberg that drew the attention of climate scientists worldwide.”
The screening starts at 7:30 p.m., and is hosted by Second Ascent, Northwest Outward Bound School, and Lake Union Charters & Adventures.
