He begins with a manuscript, then a storyboard, then the drawings. Each two-page spread takes a month to complete.

Day at the museum
“These are called the treasure chambers, this is almost like open storage. This is from a strange time period. It’s from a non-time, it doesn’t have any dynamics.

Layers of History
It’s a different kind of Arctic connection than what we have explored before, and it’s very interesting so far. We’re in Copenhagen to learn about the colonial relationship between Denmark and Greenland, and we’ve begun with an evening tour of the city centre. You might recognize Nyhavn from a Danish postcard. Tonight it’s bustling with…

On to Greenland!
If it’s beauty you’re after, come with us. East Greenland is a world of beautiful quiet and shape-shifting weather. Glaciers blend into mist. And after a quiet couple of weeks, we journey back north tomorrow to visit the other side of the ice cap. West coast! Just across the pond from Canada and well north…
