Arctic sound, lost & found

Ships have a sound universe all their own.
When I work as a guide on ships, the Arctic sounds different to me than it used to; it’s harder to find the atmosphere I first fell in love with when I paddled my way down Arctic rivers.
Luckily, having a good companion, like Kisa, helped me find the land again.
