„Arctic. Crossing the Line” se numește o expoziție semnată de fotograful Adi Bulboacă, o serie de fotografii prin car documentează incursiunile sale în regiunea arctică a Canadei de Nord și participarea în calitate de alergător la maratonul 6633 Ultra Arctic, la edițiile din 2023 și 2024. Expoziția „Arctic. Crossing the Line” a avut vernisajul pe 11 aprilie, la Muzeul Hărților din București, și va rămâne deschisă vizitării până în luna mai.  Adi Bulboacă s-a născut în vara lui ‘88 și 16 ani mai târziu a început să fotografieze. 16 ani mai tarziu a descoperit pasiunea pentru alergat. Înainte de a se înscrie la curse de alergare în zone arctice sau pe cărări de munte, performantele fotografice proiectele ale lui Adi Bulboaca insumeaza 1000 de spectacole de teatru fotografiate, o lună petrecută în peste 100 de trenuri din România, 2 săptămâni cu tatăl lui cu trenul prin țările balcanice, sau 27 de ore de fotografiat non-stop în metroul din New York. Acesta este Adi Bulboaca! "Decizia de a participa are legătură directă cu fotografia sau cu zona imaginii, în sensul în care, în 2020 am luat prima dată contact cu Arctic Ultra 6633, documentând participarea unui bun prieten Vlad Pop. Ajuns acolo, în nordul Canadei am avut o serie de fascinații. Prima a fost una strict la nivel vizual, nu mi-a venit să cred că într-o zona în care temperaturile se învârt constant la -30, până la -57 cred că a fost recordul simțit pe pielea mea, într-o zona ca asta, cerul poate fi atât de albastru, și din cauza faptului că cerul era atât de albastru și nimic altceva în afara lui nu se reflecta în zăpadă, umbrele dunelor de zăpadă erau albastre. Mi-a luat vreo două săptămâni să accept că umbrele sunt albastre. Mă tot uitam în aparatul de fotografiat și nu reușeam să înțeleg dacă îmi scapă totuși ceva din setările lui. Într-un final am înțeles că sunt un pic alte reguli vizuale. Am dezvoltat fascinația asta și oricum am hotărât din prima că o să mă tot întorc în zonele, hai să zicem generic, de deasupra cercului polar. În februarie 2023 a luat startul alături de ceilalţi maratonişti. Atunci a reuşit să străbată, în patru zile şi jumătate, 325 din cei 620 de kilometri pe care îi presupunea parcurgea cursei. Deşi nu a trecut linia de sosire, se considera un câştigător pentru că ajunsese la linia de start: rigoarea şi disciplina alergătorului erau acum şi instrumente ale fotografului.Începutul lui 2024 l-a găsit încă o dată la linia de start a ultramaratonului. Urma să pornească din km. 0 al Dempster Highway, iar scopul era să ajungă în punctul care marchează trecerea peste cercul polar şi finalul cursei.Avea de partea lui toate şansele pentru a trece cu bine prin etapele cursei. Cu toate acestea, Adi Bulboacă a decis să încheie cursa în mod subit şi neaşteptat, datorită unui fenomen optic inedit, cunoscut şi sub numele de Sundog.Sundog se produce atunci când lumina solară este refractată de cristalele de gheaţă suspendate în atmosferă. Acest fenomen face parte din categoria halo-urilor, care sunt produse de refracţia şi reflexia luminii.Deşi se afla în avantaj pentru a continua cu bine maratonul, Adi Bulboacă s-a găsit în faţa unei alegeri neaşteptate: să alerge în continuare, sau să se oprească şi să se bucure de moment, pe care să-l fotografieze după pofta inimii. Răspunsul la această dilemă a fost simplu şi la obiect: „Fotografia a câştigat astăzi şi alergarea va rămâne mereu în sufletul meu.”Fotografii în care apare Sundog-ul, peisaje arctice, portrete ale localnicilor, sau scene din timpul maratoanelor, pot fi văzute în expoziţia temporară deschisă la Muzeul Hărţilor.

 #005 - Professional highway trucker and heavy equipment owner/operator Dan Throssell, has us sitting passenger as we drive up the Yukon's Dempster Highway at -60 in a blinding snowstorm. His stories of cautious travel fraught with mechanical ordeals and nearly zero human contact on this 700 plus miles of lonely highway will keep you on the edge of your seat. In a land intersected by only a few gravel roads and infrequent encounters with wildlife along this barren highway, Dan recounts his years of travel, delivering everything from oversized heavy equipment, to pallets of eggs to some of the most remote places in Northern Canada, far beyond the paved highways.  He refers to his adventures as “it's just another Wednesday” with a chuckle in his voice, yet his cavalier demeanour is solidified by his stoic work ethic and years of comradery and patient mentorship from his skilled peers. No stranger to being on his own and relying on his bag of tricks to get the job done, Dan leaves us with a sense of pride for a job well done and a heartfelt appreciation for the people he's leaned on to help him on his journey. For the full podcast show please click on MyAmazingYukonLife.com where you'll find each weekly podcast link along with show notes and pictures related to each of the episodes.

Hello, I am Joel Ingram, and this is "Crisis to Crushin' It" Podcast. Let’s dive into this week’s talk, and help to: 1. Increase perspective. 2. Expand perception. 3. Allow you to change your reality. Aire Hoogerbrugge to friends, family and random interactions with people I am described as adventurous, interesting, unusual and different compared to anyone else they have ever personally met. Born May 18, 1973 thanks to my mom and dad – Arie (Sr.) and Gerty. Two younger brothers would follow shortly – Jason and Ryan. We were raised in Grimsby Ontario are whole lives. I have spent most of my working career in the greater Hamilton, Burlington and Haldimand area. I have also spent some time and lived in Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Vancouver and Belize. He is currently on an Epic awesome adventure! To bike west across Canada from St John’s Newfoundland through Edmonton Alberta up to our most northern highway, The Dempster Highway to the village of Tuktoyaktuk Northwest Territories. I plan on starting this once in a life time ride on December 31, 2019 in the middle of a Canadian winter. Upon reaching Tuktoyaktuk I will head south to Vancouver British Columbia.  In my world this is perhaps the greatest challenge that I can come up with that would possibly push me to the point of failure. I have to believe that at my age that some of my best years are still ahead of me. And this seems like the way to prove this to myself. To push and challenge yourself to your possible limit in my mid years will give me my courage for the future. It is difficult to say how long this 15,000 kilometre phase will take me considering the unpredictable nature of a Canadian winter. But I hope to arrive in Vancouver by the end of September 2020.  My hope is to share my experiences with as many people possible via social media, blogs, podcasts, photos and video along the way. In the future I hope that my video documentation might be turned into some kind of short film/documentary after the completion of or during my ride. Phase 2 Phase 2 of this ride has me riding much of the Pacific coast of the US and zigzagging myself to the bottom of the world in Ushuaia, Argentina. My route brings me through all 24 countries in North, Central and South America (including the Island of Trinidad). This phase of the ride should be completed in about two years.  A small note of interest; upon entering Mexico and continuing through Central and South America there will two areas of huge interest that I will actively pursue through any and all participating countries. One I will be looking for organizations/projects involved in reforestation of rainforest and jungle and the second area of interest will be to visit as many sea turtle nesting sites as possible – season permitting (nesting or hatching). You can read more about some of my interests on my Passion Projects page. This epic adventure should last about three years in total and have me pedal at least 55,000 kilometres in total distance. Don’t know about you, BUT I’m feeling inspired! Arie, Welcome to the show!

I love the Canadian Arctic. It’s not just the rugged, open landscapes. Or the fascinating wildlife. Or just the feeling of being in one of the last untouched places on Earth. It's that, but it's so much more. It’s the human story of the land that has captivated me. I’ve been north of 66 five times. By land, sea and air. I’ll return again. But I’m a tourist. My guest today is joining me from Inuvik, Northwest Territories—a small town located at the end of the Dempster Highway. His name is Kylik Kisoun Taylor, and he operates Tundra North Tours—an outfitter that merges outdoor adventure with rich indigenous cultural experiences.   His story is also rich. It’s a tale of cultural rediscovery and meaningful economic enterprise. And Pink Floyd comes into the mix too. Stay tuned for Kylik Kisoun Taylor.

Have you ever been traveling down the highway and seen a person riding a motorcycle that is loaded down with gear, probably covered with mud to some degree and maybe even has some of the external accessories tied on temporarily? If you have, you were seeing an adventurous soul who seeks the freedom of  open spaces and amazing scenery as can only be seen from the seat of a motorcycle. In this episode we sat down with three guys who know what it’s like to ride over 7,000 miles in one trip from Salt Lake City, UT to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, Canada AND BACK! Paul, Grant and Corey can now say they survived the Dempster Highway. We had a great time with these guys and couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to take on an adventure as fun and life changing as these guys did. After listening to this episode you'll be wondering the same thing. Thanks for listening and don't forget to hit that subscribe button!

Chatting with Greg Van Tighem (from Jasper, Alberta) on his 1,000 km bikepacking adventure along the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk.

The Amateur Traveler talks to Sarah from Whitehorse in the Yukon about that corner of Canada with long winters but dramatic scenery. She tells of of Winter festivals like the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous as well as Summer festivals like Dawson City Music fest, Atlin Arts and Music Fest and the Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival. We talk about sporting events like the 24 Hours of Light and Kluane to Chilkat (Haines to Haines) bike races because Sarah says you have to like the outdoors to come to the Yukon. Sarah also gives us some itineraries for road warriors like the Top of the World Highway to Dawson (and the Dempster Highway for the bold among you) and the Golden Circle route into Alaska. We walk the Chilkoot Trail but without the requirement to bring 1,000 pounds of supplies like in the Yukon gold rush. It is the beauty of Kluane National Park that you will remember but strangely enough it was something else that Sarah was looking at when she decided to move to the Yukon.
