Look at this bear! This fireweed! It’s been a privilege to work with the experts at the Museum of Nature on this permanent #arcticgallery – opening this summer in time for #Canada150. Meet the North has played a small role is this large project, and it was a pleasure to share ideas, networks, and images…

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. “Arctic Sound Lost and Found” begins at…

Meet the North is travelling to New York City.

New York City

I’m so excited to bring Meet the North Live! to New York City next week! It’s always a thrill to share stories, sounds, and images from our visits with northerners in Arctic communities around the world. This event is by invitation, but there will be other opportunities – and hopefully I’ll see some of you…

There's no glitz to screen time but it's a necessary part of the storytelling.

Screen time

I believe that storytelling can build cultural understanding. I believe that listening is powerful and that every voice matters. The world is far too grand and diverse to be funneled through a screen – though when I’m not out meeting people I spend quite a bit of time in front of one. If I ever…

Birds fly over an iceberg in Greenland.

Changing landscapes

Beautiful rifts

It’s easy to forget that this Earth – our home – is so changeable. It’s humbling to meet her where she cracks and transforms herself. The diversity of the Arctic includes these beautiful rifts. Who thought geology was boring? (Okay, I did, but I’m working on it.) Iceland 2016. . #meetthenorth #iceland #rifts #geology #seismic #midatlanticridge #lindbladexpeditions…

A pair of Arctic terns.

Ultra-marathon

We’re sharing stories from the north again starting today, which gives me a chance to celebrate this little bird and its incredible feats of strength. Arctic terns are at home in both the Arctic and the Antarctic . . . they are our polar transition bird! They can fly 40,000 kms/year, which is the furthest…

A billboard advertising the Arctic Circle Conference..

On board

It’s hard to believe that two weeks ago we were practically in this billboard in Ilulissat. Now in Reykjavik admiring this image from the side of the highway and getting ready to listen, listen, listen to ideas from all over the north. Looking forward to reunions with @solindblad @dittehejberg and others. #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions #arcticcircleconference #conference…
