**ADVENTURE STORY STILL TO BE WRITTEN**
I spent summer 2021 mainly in Greenland, but also Iceland (and briefly Denmark) on two related grants: one for a journalism project--Stories of a Changing Greenland--on behalf of the Pulitzer Center, the other for a photography and media project--Sensing Ice--on behalf of the University of Colorado-Boulder's Nature Environment Science and Technology (NEST) Studio for the Arts.
Here is why I went to Greenland.
In Greenland, I visited Nuuk, Uummannaq, Ilulissat, Kangerlussuaq, and Qaarsut.
My main expedition was a solo foot and packraft crossing of the Nuussuaq Peninsula on its far east along the ice sheet.
My photos from this expedition can be found here.
Here is a story I produced based on my time in Greenland: How a new partnership with the U.S. National Park Service could help Greenland grow sustainable tourism.
Here are a pair of closely related stories about contemporary Greenland. Both are closely related stories rolled into one, each on environmentally focused contemporary art in two different parts of Greenland. The first is centered on street art in Nuuk, particularly on a prominent piece known as “loading”, which highlights Nuuk’s speedy development. The second is on an international collaborative, Project 67, who are building structures in select Arctic villages along the 67th parallel using local and discarded materials. In Kangerlussuaq, I spent time with them as they built a powerfully symbolic structure of stone and wood.
Thanks to Ivan and Greenland Backcountry for the transport and company, as well as Ann and the Uummannaq Children's Home.
