Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith open the season with their images of African ceremonies, Oct. 18.
Photograph by Carol Beckwith and Angela FisherLast year’s premiere season of National Geographic Live at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica was a hit with Los Angeles area audiences. Back for its second season, Nat Geo Live returns with dynamic events, fascinating people, and captivating stories from the frontlines of exploration. Illustrated with award-winning photography and video, each evening concludes with a lively question-and-answer session, and an opportunity to meet the presenter in the lobby. From the “blue holes” of the Bahamas to the summit of K2, and from documenting vanishing African traditions to photographing previously unseen behaviors by New Guinea’s amazing birds of paradise, our speakers inspire and enlighten audiences worldwide.
Season tickets for our 2012–13 season go on sale June 25. Check our Tickets and Information page for more details. Check the links below for more information about our 2012–13 Nat Geo Live events in Los Angeles.

Thirty years of work on the African continent have carried Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher across 270,000 miles and through remote corners of 40 countries in exploration of more than 150 African cultures, following their passion to document and create a powerful visual record of these vanishing ways of life for future generations.
Largely unexplored, unimaginably beautiful, and considered among the most hazardous places to dive, the flooded caves, or “blue holes,” of the Bahamas are a potential treasure trove of scientific knowledge. Kenny Broad, National Geographic’s Explorer of the Year for 2011, will guide you through this incredible underwater world.
The first woman to summit the world’s 14 highest peaks without supplemental oxygen, Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, one of National Geographic Adventure’s Adventurers of the Year for 2011, recounts her daring climb to the top of K2.
Join photographer Tim Laman and ornithologist Ed Scholes as they recount their wild adventures in the New Guinea rain forest in search of some of nature’s most extraordinary wonders—the birds of paradise.
