This recording is from our Geographical journeys: microlectures event series, where speakers have just 10 minutes each to share their geographical journeys in an illustrated talk.
The Society aims to provide automatically-generated captions for all event recordings. The captions appear as text at the bottom of the video which you can toggle on and off. The accuracy of automatically-generated captions varies depending on the audio quality, any specialist language used and the speaker. They are therefore are unlikely to be 100% accurate and the Society does not edit or correct automatically-generated captions.
This event has been organised by the London committee.
