The Telegraph recommends Meet the North
Check out #12 on this list of “13 Amazing Cruises in the Arctic or Antarctic” (we don’t think they’re listed in order). Travel writer Michael Kerr lists Lindblad Expeditions’ Iceland to West Greenland trip which will feature Meet the North this summer.
Who lives in the Arctic, and what are their lives like? Lindblad Expeditions is seeking to provide answers with a new “Meet the North” project, led by field correspondent Jennifer Kingsley, who is asking each local she meets to introduce her to another.
Lindblad Expeditions is the principal sponsor for Meet the North.
Re:Sound’s “The Cold Show” goes national
Spring approaches, but you can still get below zero. Jennifer’s audio story “Arctic Sound Lost and Found” is part of ReSound’s Cold Show, now available nationally through PRX. This show comes from the Third Coast International Audio Festival. Have a listen to these cool segments about cold things.
Meet the North goes to New York City
One of our wonderful sponsors, Lindblad Expeditions, hosted us in their New York City office for a talk and storytelling session.

Meet the North in The Ottawa Citizen
Jenny recently sat down with The Ottawa Citizen’s Elizabeth Payne to discuss Meet the North. Learn more about Jenny and the inspiration behind the project in Payne’s great article here.
“The north is in the news, but it tends to be about resource extraction, sovereignty, climate change — all really important issues, yet there are four million people who live at or above the Arctic Circle. I became really curious: What about them? What are their stories?”
Sharing what we’ve learned
Voyages with elements of Meet the North will sail next year to Greenland and Nunavut aboard the National Geographic Explorer. The ship’s passengers will benefit from the knowledge of our own Jennifer Kingsley, all while witnessing the beauty of the arctic first-hand. More details here.
