Two tickets to National Geographic Live in Seattle at Benaroya Hall, on Monday, May 18 at 7:30 pm. Your seats are in the center section on the main floor.

These are live events with National Geographic explorers, filmmakers, scientists, and photographers where they discuss their work, always accompanied by the images you expect to see from National Geographic. This event is called From Summit to Sea with filmmaker and photographer Andy Mann.

Award-winning filmmaker and photographer Andy Mann combines his passions with purpose as a voice for the world’s oceans, following scientists to some of the most extreme locations on the planet in the hope of inspiring change.

Andy’s journey from rock climber to ocean storyteller involves some remarkable detours and misadventures that prove that field science can be every bit as thrilling as the climbing adventures of his past. He has dived alongside crocodiles, sperm whales and sharks, and survived near misses with icebergs, all in pursuit of his ultimate goal: to shed light on Earth’s incredible ocean environments and advocate for their protection.

He now spends over 100 days a year at sea, documenting cutting-edge marine science and telling the story of our rapidly changing planet — covering all seven continents for National Geographic.
