Meet the North introduces you to some of the amazing people they’ve met along the way. This Above and Beyond – Canada’s Arctic Journal piece profiles these stories from a men’s choir in Iceland to a celebration in Pond Inlet. By meeting one person at a time, and by asking that person to introduce us to someone…
Down here, a stroll through the neighbourhood looks like this. Each glacier face is uniquely unpredictable. Despite our attempts to measure, calculate, and forecast, this landscape will always extend beyond our understanding. I’m grateful for that. #meetthenorth #meetthesouth #antarcticambassadors #blue #glacier #zodiac #cruising #dowhatyoulove
Pond Inlet, Nunavut, is an Inuit town of 1,600 people at the northern tip of Baffin Island. It’s 650km north…

Look deeply to understand clearly – Thich Nhat…
Amid a mega tourism boom in Iceland – where travellers now outnumber locals four to one – most people skip the northeast corner. When we asked a local in the whale-watching town of Husavik, Iceland, about driving around the Melrakkaslétta peninsula, the answer was clear…
Adele Jackson is an artist and also the base leader at Port Lockroy in Antarctica. This image is what Adele calls a Solargram – it’s a record of an entire Antarctic summer as seen through the tiny aperture of a pinhole camera. One photograph that took three months to create. Adele has made cameras from…
Antarctica. How else to kick off the story of this place but with ocean, land, and some stars of the show. Gentoo penguins, looking their best. This is Goudier Island, home of Bransfield house. You can see the old British boathouse in the back. Photo by none other than Mr. Eric Guth. After traveling around…
