Final conquest in sight for intrepid adventurer Rebecca Lee
Rebecca Lee found it easier to conquer the polar zones and Mount Everest than find a site for Hong Kong's first climate change museum
At a casual glance, a fish stored in Rebecca Lee Lok-sze's home could be a typical Hong Kong salted variety.
But it's actually preserved in formalin and comes from Antarctica.
It's a treasured memento for the former advertising executive, adventurer and documentary maker, who has been to the north and south poles 18 times and the Mount Everest area four times.
"I caught the fish in the winter of 2001 and wanted to take it back to Hong Kong," Lee says. "An engineer told me he could help - he preserved it with formalin."
The fish is now in a bottle until the Museum of Climate Change, of which Lee, 70, is the driving force, opens on the Chinese University campus, probably by the end of this year.
It will join tens of thousands of other mementoes from Lee's 30 years of travel to wild places, including photos and specimens.
