It’s Thanksgiving in Canada today, and I’m really far away from home, so here’s a toast to Eric Guth, my companion for Thanksgiving: My team mate and dear friend doing what he does: making photographs and sharing them every way he can. The process and the moment. Eric’s cameras show up in odd places. In the…
We meet up in the darnedest places, and we’re celebrating! We are National Geographic Explorers!! Meet the North is now supported by the National Geographic Society through the Committee for Research and Exploration. And we were on the National Geographic Explorer when we found out. How cool is that!? Here, Eric Guth and I are…
Provideniya, Chukotka. A town that immediately captured my heart. Perhaps you know this feeling, when you arrive somewhere new and foreign, but something about it fits your spirit. Like it has something you’ve been looking for. Here, our theme is layers. Layers of colour, texture, history, and emotion. The layers you go through when you…
We’re back! We’re up north! After some time away from you all, it’s time to keep this journey going. Can you guess where we are? Where is this sunflower growing? Happy Summer! Photo by Eric Guth.
Iceland is an Arctic nation too! A tiny piece of this island crosses the Arctic circle making it one of the eight countries that make up the Arctic Council (can you name the others?) With warmer ocean currents wrapping around the coasts, Icelandic farmers use their expertise to make the most of a cool, damp…
The hunter. The hunted. Alaska’s rare Blanket Deer pays us a visit. Look out Eric Guth, it’s right behind you! #meetthenorth #blanketwildlife #alaska #decor #curtains #deer #thehunter #thehunted #sillyface #silliness #gameface

We’re just back from a week in the backcountry, so stay tuned for some jaw-dropping Alaska coming soon. #finishline #iditarod2017 #iditarod #arcticlife #sprinttothefinish #north…
Another journey to another part of this planet where I have the privilege of meeting people and asking questions while Eric uses his talent to share the mood and the moment through photography. Every time we work together we take a team portrait, so this is us saying goodbye to the Antarctic (though we’ve got…
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,…
It has been over a year since Eric and I last worked together aboard the National Geographic Explorer. Part of our sponsorship for this project is to spend time on board and share stories from Meet the North. We are back on board now, and we’ll sail from Iceland to Greenland and on to Nunavut…
