I had a great conversation with the Ottawa Citizen this week and wanted to share the results. Getting to know the Arctic, one story at a time by Elizabeth Payne.

The cabins in East Greenland are left ready for the next Danish patrol to arrive at any moment. All of the gear and supplies are accessible with as little fuss as possible. Including the matchboxes. You don’t even have to open them! This struck me as a little bit obsessive. Is it really less work…
The first of many beautiful encounters in East Greenland. Synchronized humpback whales. Lovely lovely. #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions #greenland #eastgreenland #humpbacks #humpbackwhales #bbctravel #oceanviews #oceanlove #arctic #north
Post 1 of 2. If you want the smooth and refreshing look of a waterfall in Iceland, you might have to get up close. There were 1.3 million tourists in this country last year, and that number is growing. So pick your spots to find your solitude. Our next shot zooms it out. #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions…
Post 2 of 2. Early morning at Godafoss. Blue rapids, tundra plants . . . and the buses are rolling in. It’s hard to resist the lure of this natural beauty, plus it’s darn close to the road. I can’t help wondering what this place looked like ten years ago and what it will look…
Post 1 of 2. Meet Haukur Orri. He’s 16, and he plays a mean accordion even though he only started a year ago. In this photo he’s dressed up for his summer job at the Siglufjordur Herring Museum in northern Iceland. In a historical re-enactment of the herring days he dances and sings with the…
Post 2 of 2. Haukur loves his town. “I’m not leaving,” he says, “When I got to Reykjavik I’m like a lunatic when I come home.” It’s too busy for him in Iceland’s big city. Many small towns here have to contend with young people leaving for an urban life, just like many countries around…

Cruising the streets of Akureyri in northern Iceland: meeting people, enjoying the rain, and loving the details. This toy boat hanging in a window seemed to be floating its way through town, and it made me think about navigating new relationships and situations. It’s easy to feel out of place, but more and more often…
Because this island is surrounded by the wild Atlantic, and so many people here are ocean people. This day, the gannets are diving deep into the sea, hitting the surface at maximum speed. They look like needles making stitches on the water. #iceland #north #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions #gannets #northatlantic #seabirds #sky #divers
