Join the Royal Geographical Society - Singapore and our very own member and photographer, Ju Shen Lee, for “Inle Lake - The Rarely Seen”, on 29 July at 7.30pm Singapore Time (GMT+8)! Expect an exciting journey on a virtual trip through the picturesque Inle Lake region.
Inle Lake is a cradle of life nestled in the verdant hills and mountains of the Shan Highlands in eastern Myanmar. The freshwater lake is home to endemic fish species and migratory birds, and was declared a UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves site in 2015. Based on a month-long expedition, this talk showcases that rarely seen daily life on Inle Lake, with ‘Real.Life.Photos’ that intersect physical and human geography.
