I know how much I love snow at the north end of the world. (Beautiful Svalbard pictured here.) It’s time to go see what’s happening at the south end. Antarctica, here I come! #meetthenorth #antarcticambassadors #lindbladexpeditions #meetthesouth #ice #landscape #svalbard

Thirty days ago, we embarked on November, which is usually my least favourite time of year. To heck with that, I said, this time it will be different. So . . . was it? It was. I stayed home the entire month, and I set a routine. This was a change for me, but it…
Endurance. Emphasizing the results of a journey doesn’t take into account the perseverance it took to get them. Endurance is a private quality. Few people ever see what we go through to realize a vision – whether it’s miles along a trail, hours in front of a screen, or so many dead ends before you…
Wrapping up a great week here and wanted to say thanks with a silly selfie from Qassiarsuk, Greenland. Welcome to our new followers and a shout out to the communities who helped us share faces and places this week: @whoamagwhoa (you want to know about these women), @ilovegreenland (featuring fab takeovers!), and @lindbladexp (who fuels so,…
Giving thanks for all we have received on this journey. Gifts from the land. The generosity of strangers. Enduring friendships born of unlikely circumstances. Here, the community of Pond Inlet prepares caribou, walrus, narwhal, and arctic char for a community feast. May there be feasts of many kinds! #meetthenorth #thanksgiving #americanthanksgiving #feast #nunavut #nunavummiut #lifeupnorth…
Letting winter settle in. Appreciating it not only for its sting but for its quiet. So here’s my feedback for weather men and women (and the rest of us for that matter): Every time you disparage winter weather you train us to prefer warmth over cold. How is that good for the planet? #meetthenorth #arctic…
We love introducing you to people – there are so many interesting and beautiful people out there! Here’s a woman we admire: Eleanore Pitseolak. Deputy Mayor of Pond Inlet, Nunavut. Passionate about her community. Committed to its development. Role model for youth and children, including her two young sons. Eleanore was one of many who…
Proud to be sponsored by @lindbladexp and posting to their gallery all week (photos from many beautiful places await you there!). This photo is from Ilulissat, Greenland just a few weeks ago. There are moments when everything seems to be happening at once. The sun has set, but its glow still warms the sky. Even while…
Everyone has a voice. I write this because “giving voice” is a phrase I’ve heard in relation to our work, and I want to correct that. Voices are everywhere, it’s listening that’s missing. Listen up and you’ll hear more voices than you ever thought possible, and many have one hell of a story to share….
