She had so many interests, she never quite managed to settle down and really stick with any of them - art, journalism, photography, or her diving. She, at one time, tried to have her Alaska travels published, but had started other projects before she passed the text on to her publisher. She was also an accomplished artist, painting a portrait of Liza Minnelli's father and spending a lot of time in Central America photographing the fruit plantations for a big company. For all her adventuring, she was a very private person. She had one son but never remarried after a divorce early in her life. Though, she counted amongst her close friends Buckminster Fuller and Ellsworth Bunker. At the age of 67 she set a deep dive record at Warm Mineral Springs. Her account of her adventure to Alaska was finally published 10 years after her death, in 1990, called ''The Road North: One Woman's Adventure Driving the Alaska Highway 1947-1948'', it was published by Greatland Graphics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iris Woolcock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
