Podcast appearances and mentions of brent mcgregor

Created by: Mari Feher,  Hosted by: Ania WiktorowiczAre ice caves the same as glacier caves? Should you be taking your selfie with them or explore them on your own? Did you know that the PNW has one of the few remaining ice caves inside glaciers  on our back yard volcanos in the entire country? Eddy Cartaya, the Indiana Jones of Glacier Caving , TED Talk speaker and  will give you the scoop of the intimate details of these majestic formations. Cartaya and his climbing partner, Brent McGregor  explored the frozen caves created in the Sandy Glacier and in 2011, they  identified and explored three caves which they named Snow Dragon, Pure Imagination and Frozen Minotaur. As one of the couple of  dozens of glacier cave rescuers in the world, not only does Eddy work with NASA and  is a co-founder of Glacier Cave Explorers he is one of the most esteemed members of Portland Mountain Rescue  with countless rescues under his belt. Come and listen to Eddy's fascinating, geek-out worthy stories about a part of the world only a few lucky people get to venture to: the belly of the beast. 

The Running Iron crew are joined by modern day explorer and adventurer Brent McGregor.  McGregor is a former logger, a woodworker, a mountaineer, a nationally recognized photographer, and an accomplished glacier cave explorer who -- along with his caving partners -- discovered the largest known glacier cave in the lower 48 states -- the Snow Dragon complex far beneath the ice of Oregon's Mt. Hood.  Brent shares stories of his incredible life, from solo kayaking the northwest coast to logging camps in the Black Hills, from building a cabin nine thousand feet in the Rockies to running sled dogs and living in a tipi in remote Alaska.  This episode of the Running Iron Podcast is a classic campfire conversation with modern implications -- and an interview you don't want to miss.   Hosts:  Craig Rullman & Jim Cornelius -- Running Iron Report Audio Engineer:  Pete "Oil Can" Rathbun  

Snow Dragon. Pure Imagination. Frozen Minotaur. These are the names Eddy Cartaya and his climbing partner Brent McGregor gave three glacier caves that they were the first to explore. As the Sandy Glacier slowly slides down Mount Hood in Oregon, the caves and tunnels inside it morph annually thanks to warm water from above and warm air from below. At TEDYouth, Cartaya takes us inside these magical spaces where the ice glows in bright blues and greens, and where artifacts rain from the ceiling.

Dragon de Neige. Pure Imagination. Minotaure gelé. Voilà les noms qu'Eddy Cartaya et son partenaire d'alpinisme Brent McGregor ont donné aux grottes de glacier qu'ils sont les premiers à avoir explorées. Alors que le glacier Sandy glisse lentement le long du Mont Hood dans l'Oregon, les grottes et tunnels à l'intérieur se transforment chaque année grâce à l'eau chaude venant d'au-dessus d'elles et l'air froid se trouvant en-dessous d'elles. A TEDYouth, Cartaya nous emmène dans ces lieux magiques où la glace brille de bleu et de vert et où les objets pleuvent du plafond.

Dragón de Nieve. Pura Imaginación. Minotauro Helado. Estos son los nombres que Eddy Cartaya y su compañero de escalada, Brent McGregor, dieron a tres cuevas glaciares que descubrieron. A medida que el glaciar Sandy se desliza lentamente por el Monte Hood en Oregón, las cuevas y túneles de su interior se transforman año a año gracias al agua caliente de arriba y al aire caliente que está abajo. En TEDYouth, Cartaya nos lleva a recorrer estos espacios mágicos donde el hielo se ilumina con azules y verdes brillantes, y llueven objetos desde el techo.

Dragão da Neve. Pura Imaginação. Minotauro Congelado. Estes são nomes que Eddy Cartaya e seu parceiro de escaladas, Brent McGregor, deram a três cavernas glaciárias que eles foram os primeiros a explorar. Conforme o glaciar Sandy desliza lentamente pelo Monte Hood, as cavernas e túneis dentro dela se transformam a cada ano, graças à água aquecida de cima e ao ar quente de baixo. No TEDYouth, Cartaya nos leva para dentro desses lugares mágicos, onde o gelo brilha em tons de verde e azul, e onde coisas escorrem do teto.
