I’ve been back and forth between Canada and Greenland for the last month and a half. It’s always a privilege to explore the ice here in Ilulissat, and I’ve been posting to the @lindbladexp account all week with pics from this Greenland/Iceland voyage. Our National Geographic Explorer’s grant begins next week. Time for a new adventure –…

Antarctica constantly reminds me to look beneath the surface. Watching the icebergs reinforces what I keep in mind when I meet new people around the world: there is so much more than what you see at first glance. It’s true that 90% of the berg is underwater. Look deeply to understand clearly – Thich Nhat…
Thirty days ago, we embarked on November, which is usually my least favourite time of year. To heck with that, I said, this time it will be different. So . . . was it? It was. I stayed home the entire month, and I set a routine. This was a change for me, but it…
