I interrupt this broadcast for a behind the scenes moment with my notebooks. I take notes ALL THE TIME. I love notebooks, and when I’m in the field I especially love these ones. (Maybe I’ll post the silly and pretty ones I use at home some other time). This represents three years of stories that…
Packing up for the weekend and taking off! See you in a few days. . Photo Eric Guth
“We will fall completely in love with the Earth,” says Thich Nhat Hanh. “When we are in love with someone or something, there is no separation between ourselves and the person or thing that we love. We do whatever we can for them and this brings us great joy and nourishment. That is the relationship…
It’s time to be a snowbird. Find your flock and fly in formation. It might be stormy out there but oh so beautiful.

So I’m taking a moment to focus before we open the doors this evening. I hope to do justice to the generosity and diversity of the…
It’s not a black and white world, no matter what they tell you. Listen for the bigger story. #meetthenorth #meetthesouth #antarctica #antarcticambassadors #beneaththesurface #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #seaice #ice
I’ve spent the first ten days of this year in relative silence, holding myself slightly apart from the crowd. I began the New Year by thinking ahead, and then realized how I’ve made a habit of skipping to the future – which can never be more than imagined. Too much time travel is a good…
We awoke this morning to dozens of killer whales around our ship – close enough to see them beneath the surface and hear the breath of each and every animal. These Antarctic specialists live in family groups, led by a matriarch, and it’s their relationships that fascinate me most, especially at a time of year…
