My guest today is a woman who listens to stone the way others listen to music, hearing the layered rhythms, ancient memory, and hidden messages beneath our feet.Dr. Marcia Bjornerud is a structural geologist, writer, and professor at Lawrence University whose work explores the physics of earthquakes, the architecture of mountains, and the deep time story of our living planet. She is the author of several beloved books for popular audiences, including Reading the Rocks, Timefulness, Geopedia, and most recently, Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks, which won the 2025 John Burroughs Medal for Natural History Writing.In today's conversation, we explore Earth as an animate, dynamic system, one that has been reinventing itself for over 4 billion years, leaving records of her great experiments in stone. We dive into Marcia's life's work of decoding that record and into her belief that rocks are not inert, they are narrators of Earth's evolving story. Marcia invites us to understand the language of stone, to foster a “geo-centric” worldview that reconnects us with the rhythms and relationships of this planet, and to step into a deeper kinship with the Earth as home.We also speak about her travels to remote parts of the world, such as Svalbard, Norway, her reflections on the Anthropocene, how thinking like a geologist can help save the world, and what she may have learned from Indigenous wisdom traditions in her dialogue with land and rock.This is a conversation about time, transformation, and the quiet, enduring truths that live in stone.Episode Highlights:02:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's early fascination with rocks from glacial deposits in Wisconsin.04:00 – Structuring her latest book Turning to Stone around autobiographical chapters, each linked to a specific rock.06:00 – Defining the term "timefulness" and how seeing in geologic time alters our perception of the present.07:30 – Rocks as palimpsests: ancient stories overwritten but still traceable.08:45 – Rocks as verbs, not nouns: dynamic participants in Earth's ongoing transformation.10:30 – Witnessing the radical evolution of geoscience: from fixed continents to dynamic tectonics and complex climate models.13:00 – Paradigm shifts: from denying catastrophes to accepting extinction events like the one that ended the dinosaurs.16:00 – Ice age floods and possible global correlations to catastrophic water events.18:00 – Reflections on flat-earthers, epistemology, and failures in science education.20:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's spiritual and emotional connection with rocks and their silent companionship.22:30 – Working in rapidly changing Arctic landscapes and observing real-time geology in motion.24:00 – The language of stone: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks as dialects.26:00 – What would change if Western culture viewed the Earth as animate rather than mechanical?29:00 – Critiquing techno-optimism and misplaced hubris in dreams of colonizing Mars.32:00 – Hidden infrastructures of rock: aquifers, basalt weathering, and climate regulation.35:00 – Collaborating with Indigenous scientists and tribal legal teams to protect ecosystems.38:00 – Thinking like a geologist: embracing humility, interconnectedness, and a long-term perspective.40:00 – Letting go of narcissism and rediscovering our place in Earth's continuum.42:00 – Why colonizing Mars is scientifically implausible and ethically evasive.45:00 – Message for the seventh generation: the Earth abides—if we listen.47:00 – Closing reflection: stone as story, Earth as ancestor, and ourselves as part of a resilient and sacred cycle of becoming.Resources mentioned:Books by Dr. Marcia BjornerudTurning to Stone – https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781324093494Timefulness: How...

Se in Europa godiamo di clima mite e temperature moderate, lo dobbiamo alla Corrente del Golfo. Una gigantesca arteria marina che trasporta acqua calda dal Golfo del Messico alle coste del nostro continente. Il cambiamento climatico però sta minacciando questo delicato equilibrio, e il mondo – per come lo conosciamo oggi - potrebbe cambiare per sempre. Per questo Lorenzo Colantoni, giornalista ambientale e documentarista, ha deciso di andare oltre i dati, oltre le previsioni, e partire per vedere con i propri occhi cosa sta succedendo in questi luoghi -- dal mare delle Azzorre ai ghiacciai delle Svalbard. Con il suo libro Lungo la Corrente ci porta in un viaggio straordinario attraverso l'Europa che cambia, che si adatta e che si trasforma.

Depuis quelques années, l'Arctique est partout, dans les romans, les séries, les rubriques de géopolitiques. Parce que la fonte de la banquise inquiète, parce que les appétits commerciaux et stratégiques s'aiguisent, parce que la région est devenue un décor d'intrigue de fiction qui font un carton en librairie. Dans cette nouvelle série, on explore son histoire pour comprendre comment l'Arctique est devenue cette immense surface de projection de toutes les angoisses de notre temps. L'Arctique est d'abord un milieu hostile et étrange, une région extrême, loin du confort des grandes capitales, un exotisme tout au Nord de l'Europe. Dans la première moitié du XIXème siècle, l'Arctique fait l'objet d'un enthousiasme scientifique, un défi pour les navigateurs, une destination pour les aventuriers. Alessandra Carcreff a réédité le récit de Léonie d'Aunet, un voyage en 1938 au Spitzberg, une île de l'archipel du Svalbard à près de 700 km au Nord de la Scandinavie dans la Mer arctique. Alors commençons comme des touristes sans avion, sans Gore Tex et sans 5G, sans même les femmes à l'exception d'une, notre héroïne du jour : Léonie.

Welcome to Positive Waves, where luxury meets purpose and the yachting world drives real-world change.

W Ukrainie odbyły się największe od początku wojny demonstracje przeciw władzy. Na ulicach Kijowa i innych miast tysiące ludzi sprzeciwiało się decyzji o oddaniu nadzoru nad Narodowym Biurem Antykorupcyjnym w ręce kontrolowanego politycznie prokuratora generalnego. Protestowała też UE. Pod presją ulicy i głosów z frontu Wołodymyr Zełenski ostatecznie wycofał się ze zmian. Dlaczego walka z korupcją tak mocno jednoczy Ukraińców, w tym pokolenie 20-latków? Czy to wciąż państwo skorumpowane? I dlaczego Zełenski tak zaryzykował w stosunkach z Zachodem i swoimi rodakami?Japonia dogaduje się z Donaldem Trumpem i oddala ryzyko wojny handlowej z USA.

GB2RS News Sunday the 20th of July 2025 The news headlines: The RSGB launches GB70RS awards to celebrate 70 years of GB2RS New volunteer RSGB STEM Champion announced Visit the RSGB National Radio Centre during the summer holidays The RSGB's weekly news broadcast, GB2RS, is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the Society is inviting you to collect awards for listening and logging GB2RS News broadcasts between Friday, the 1st of August and Tuesday, the 30th of September. There are four categories, including a basic listener award and a regular listener award. Full details of the programme, the rules and how to apply for your certificate are available by searching GB70RS at QRZ.com. To read about the awards and wider celebrations that are taking place for the 70th anniversary of GB2RS, go to rsgb.org/gb70rs RSGB Board Director, Ben Lloyd, GW4BML, has appointed Ian Stevenson, G3YNU, as the volunteer RSGB STEM Champion. This new role fits with the RSGB's strategy to bring amateur radio to new audiences and to highlight the link between amateur radio and science, technology, engineering and maths. Ian brings a wealth of experience to this role, having been a mathematics teacher for ten years, with a further 23 years in Higher Education as a Senior Lecturer in ICT and Education. Ian also played a pivotal role in establishing the RSGB School Links Project, which introduced classroom activities that connect amateur radio with the school curricula. The project was established following Tim Peake's Principia mission to the International Space Station, which included ten UK ARISS school contacts during Tim's time in space. In his new RSGB role, Ian is enthusiastic about fostering close ties with STEM organisations and STEM ambassadors across the UK, including those already engaged with the RSGB. If you'd like to contact Ian to share suggestions that may enhance the RSGB's STEM outreach programme, you can contact him via stem.champion@rsgb.org.uk If you are looking for an activity to keep the children busy during the summer holidays, why not plan a visit to the RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park? The knowledgeable and welcoming volunteers will be on hand to give an introduction to radio technology, how it works and why it is still relevant today. There are interactive displays as well as the opportunity to get a certificate for sending your name in Morse code. There will also be three more of the successful Spy Transmitter events during the summer, so keep an eye on the Bletchley Park website and the RSGB comms channels if you'd like to take part. Start planning your visit by going to rsgb.org/nrc. Don't forget that as a membership benefit, RSGB members can visit the world-famous Bletchley Park estate, including the RSGB National Radio Centre, for free. Download your voucher by going to rsgb.org/bpvoucher Did you know that the Radio Communications Foundation offers funding to young people who need help with the Foundation licence exam fee? They need to be under the age of 21 and in full-time education. If you know someone who may be eligible, help spread the word and promote this programme. To find out more and submit an application, go to commsfoundation.co.uk  and select ‘RCF Grants' from the sub-menu. This year marked the centenary of the unique mechanical Alexanderson Alternator transmitter at Grimeton near Varberg in Sweden. GB2RS Newsreader and NRC volunteer Brian Hardy, G4BIP, travelled to Sweden for a special 70th birthday trip with his partner Hilary, G7SOI. On the 2nd of July, they were able to watch SAQ being operated on a frequency of 17.2kHz as part of the celebration. Brian was even allowed to key up the station in advance of the formal transmission and send some test messages. Despite SAQ having a power output of 80kW, nobody came back to his CQ call! However, it was a big tick on his 'bucket list'! The station is usually fired up twice a year and is well worth a visit. You can discover much more, including a fascinating YouTube video of the centenary event, via alexander.n.se The UK Six Metre Group's AGM will be held via Zoom on Sunday, the 27th of July 2025 at 17:00 UTC.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 17th of July. Space weather has been a bit like our terrestrial weather this week. We have had sunspots, some C-class solar flares, some coronal mass ejections and a large coronal hole – unsettled, you could say! Luckily, the coronal mass ejections were not Earth-directed, but the Kp index did rise to 5 on the 15th of July and again late on the 16th of July. The large coronal hole, which may have been responsible, is well south on the Sun's surface and should rotate out of Earth's view by the beginning of the coming week. Meanwhile, the Sun appears to have woken up, spot-wise, with 11 groups on the 17th of July, four of which are classed as growing, while two are stable and three are declining. Two groups are unclassified at this time. This resulted in an increase in the solar flux index to 152 on Thursday, the 17th. Overall, this means quite reasonable HF conditions considering the time of year. Recent DX spots included the JW0V DXpedition to Svalbard on both SSB and FT8, and C93RRC in Mozambique on 17m CW, plus 30, 20 and 10m FT8. Conditions have been up and down, with daytime maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, over a 3,000km path reaching 28MHz at times, but then quickly declining to 18 or 19MHz ten minutes later. All we can advise is to keep listening! Nighttime MUFs over a 3,000km path have generally been exceeding 10MHz, and occasionally reaching 14MHz. We may start to see nighttime 14MHz openings tailing off as we head into late July. Next week, NOAA is a little pessimistic with a predicted solar flux index in the range of 118 to 130. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions, with a possible Kp of 4, are forecast for Tuesday, 22nd of July. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The unsettled weather over this weekend will continue through the first part of the coming week. Some of the rain will be heavy and possibly thundery, so there is a good chance of rain scatter on the GHz bands. After mid-week, the pattern may change enough for a weak ridge of high pressure to build close to the UK and this may offer some Tropo opportunities. It may not be strong enough for it to persist through the warmth of a July day. Thus, most places will have better Tropo prospects overnight. The solar conditions have recently fired off a steady stream of aurora alerts, and we should probably expect similar in the coming week. Meteor scatter is often on people's minds during late summer since we have two showers towards the end of this month and, of course, next month's Perseids. This month, both the Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids peak around the 30th of July, but we are already in the broad spread of dates for activity. Sporadic-E is still happening on most days somewhere within Europe, but even UK stations can expect regular FT8 activity and a fair chance of CW or SSB paths for stronger events. Last Wednesday saw another early afternoon opening into the USA. These stronger events need a low Kp index, below 3, and some jet stream activity to generate turbulence that can spread upwards to the E region. In the coming week, we will certainly have some jet stream activity, so it should be worth monitoring your favourite beacons for activity. It's always helpful to have a list of favourite beacons at the ready to cover a range of directions. For example, one in Finland, Poland, Hungary, Italy and Spain should cover it. Moon declination is positive again, reaching maximum on Tuesday, the 22nd, with associated long Moon windows and high peak elevation. Path losses continue to fall until perigee today, Sunday, the 20th. 144MHz sky noise is moderate, but Thursday the 24th sees the Moon and Sun close in the sky until early the following day. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Te aseguras de la hora en el reloj, luego confirmas en la computadora. Sí, la hora es correcta y no hay noticias sobre eclipse de Sol. Sería extraño, ¿cierto? Existen en el círculo polar ártico, ciudades en las cuales el sol no se ve durante varios días. En algunos no se ve durante un mes y en otros, como Svalbard, Noruega, el sol no sale en cuatro meses. Las temperaturas van de -20 a 23 °C como resultado de la ausencia del sol.83 ¡Cuatro meses de noche! Eso no suena agradable para quienes gozamos cada día de la luz del astro rey.Estudios realizados en las personas que viven sin sol por varios días, dieron como resultado el descubrimiento de un trastorno al que los expertos llamaron trastorno afectivo estacional o trastorno de invierno. La doctora Aarohee Desai-Gupta, del Colegio Real de Psiquiatrías del Reino Unido, explicó que la luz solar es clave para nuestro estado de ánimo. Una persona sin la luz de Jesús es una persona lúgubre, tétrica y fría, como el círculo polar ártico, por la falta de sol. La escritora Elena G. de White escribió: «¿Me veis alguna vez tétrica, abatida o quejosa? Mi fe me lo prohíbe... los que siguen a Cristo más de cerca no son tétricos».Necesitamos al astro rey que alumbra la tierra y necesitamos al Rey del universo que alumbra nuestras vidas. Así como el sol purifica y desinfecta, necesitamos que el Sol de justicia nos purifique y desinfecte de toda maldad y pecado. Abre las ventanas de tu casa para que los rayos del sol puedan penetrar. Abre así mismo las ventanas de tu corazón para que los preciosos rayos del Sol de justicia se entren para darte vida.La buena noticia es que los rayos de Jesús siempre estarán disponibles cada día, a cada momento, para alumbrar y dar vida a quienes lo necesiten. Querida amiga, no dudes en exponerte a ese precioso Sol. Si hoy estás pasando un momento de oscuridad, confía en que la luz de Jesús puede alumbrar tu camino y devolverte la alegría de vivir. 

Superman is a 2025 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Superman. Written and directed by James Gunn, it is the first film in the DC Universe (DCU) produced by DC Studios and the second reboot of the Superman film series. David Corenswet stars as Clark Kent / Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced. In the film, Superman must prove to the world that he is their protector after billionaire Lex Luthor enacts a plan to turn public opinion against him.Development on a sequel to the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film Man of Steel (2013) began by October 2014, with Henry Cavill set to reprise his role as Superman. Plans changed after the troubled production of Justice League (2017) and the Man of Steel sequel was no longer moving forward by May 2020. Gunn began work on a new Superman film around August 2022. In October, he became co-CEO of DC Studios with producer Peter Safran and they began work on a new DC Universe. Gunn was revealed to be writing the film in December. The title Superman: Legacy was announced the next month, Gunn was confirmed to be directing in March 2023, and Corenswet and Brosnahan were cast that June.

Même éloignées de nous, les régions polaires nous concernent tous. Un seul exemple : début 2025, la banque internationale de Svalbard annonçait avoir reçu plus de semences que jamais en 2024. De quoi s'agit-il ? Svalbard est un archipel, le plus septentrional de la Norvège, à 1300 km au nord du cercle polaire arctique, son île la plus connue est l'ile du Spitzberg. Là, dans une ancienne mine de charbon a été créée en 2008 la réserve mondiale de semences du Svalbard, une chambre forte souterraine, qui conserve à – 18° en permanence un échantillon des graines de toutes les cultures vivrières de la planète afin de préserver la diversité génétique de notre terre. Une sorte d'arche de Noé de la biodiversité en quelque sorte. Alors que la FAO estime que les 3/4 des variétés de légumes domestiques ont été perdues depuis les années 1990 à cause de la monoculture, les banques de semences tentent d'empêcher que d'autres variétés soient perdues à jamais, notamment du fait des évolutions climatiques. Ainsi, sur l'année 2024, la chambre forte mondiale du Svalbard a reçu 65 000 échantillons de semences, un record. Il existe certes des banques nationales ou régionales de semences mais la toundra arctique offre un climat idéal et sûr pour le stockage, c'est une sorte de sauvegarde supplémentaire pour toutes leurs collections et une garantie pour notre futur. Aussi plongeons-nous, un peu, dans ces océans glacés. Sont-ils vraiment des objets géopolitiques, c'est-à-dire des territoires au cœur de rivalités de puissance ? Qu'est ce qui les rend si attractifs ? Quelle est ici l'incidence des effets du dérèglement climatique ?

In a world of perpetual motion, there exists a realm of profound stillness—where light doesn't simply illuminate, it transforms. Far from home amid Earth's frozen tundras, time itself seems suspended in crystalline air. In today's podcast, we'll visit these places where time hangs in the balance, and we'll explore the intrepid mix of endurance, patience, and vision it takes to make pictures there. Joining us for this conversation are polar photography specialists Acacia Johnson and Jonas Paurell. From making distinctions between Arctic and Antarctic regions, to learning about the unique challenges involved with photographing there, our polar experts share many valuable insights. In addition to tips about packing and safeguarding camera gear in cold weather climates, we also discuss the importance of managing expectations during such trips, especially when faced with a long wait to see wildlife amid the barren stillness. As Alaskan photographer Acacia Johnson puts it, “… I think going into a trip with kind of a sense of exploration, like the joy of the trip is that you don't know, and it's completely unique to your experience. And whatever you do see is kind of a gift.”   Guests: Acacia Johnson & Jonas Paurell Episode Timeline: 3:37: Acacia Johnson's upbringing in the wilds of Alaska and leaving the area for photo studies at the Rhode Island School of Design in the lower 48. 7:35: Jonas Paurell's youth in Sweden and the impact his first trek to Scandinavian Arctic regions had on his soul. 14:08: The differences between Arctic and Antarctic polar landscapes, plus Acacia's experiences during a winter in Arctic Bay, with no sun for four months. 29:13: Different approaches to storytelling about the Arctic based on subject matter, and capturing an emotion in images that does justice to the landscape. 37:31: The logistics of getting to Arctic and Antarctic locations, and expenses involved with working and living there. 43:19: The Jubilee Expedition Jonas organized to celebrate the 150th anniversary of a legendary Swedish polar expedition to Svalbard. 51:20: Episode Break 51:38: Preparations for a polar expedition and the camera gear Acacia and Jonas pack. 1:00:31: Using a large format camera on polar expeditions, plus managing gear in extreme cold conditions. 1:06:42: Managing expectations for travelers, misconceptions when planning trips, plus different types of vessels used during expeditions to polar regions. 1:16:42: Cultivating an authentic connection to place when photographing polar regions. 1:21:29: The changing ethics of photographing in polar regions, plus findings from Jonas's Jubilee Expedition Guest Bios: Acacia Johnson is a photographer, writer, and a 2023 National Geographic Explorer based in Anchorage, Alaska. Drawn to painterly light and otherworldly landscapes, her work focuses on the environment, conservation, and connections between people and place. Over the past 10 years, she has made more than fifty expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica as a photographer and a guide—always seeking to inspire wonder and compassion for these remote regions during a time of rapid change. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally and have been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic and TIME magazines, among other publications. In 2021, Acacia was awarded the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant, and in 2022 she received the ICP Infinity Award for Documentary Practices and Photojournalism. Jonas Paurell is an explorer, conservation photographer, photo educator, and speaker from Gothenburg, Sweden. One of his most ambitious projects is a 25-year documentation of the Arctic. Through ski expeditions and icebreaker voyages, he has captured both the resilience and vulnerability of Arctic landscapes, emphasizing the fragility of the region and the urgent need for preservation. In 2022, Jonas launched The Jubilee Expedition, recreating the historic Swedish Polar Expedition of 1872 to highlight this region's rapid melting and the far-reaching impacts of climate change. Jonas is also founder of Terra Photography Expeditions, which offers immersive workshops in both Arctic regions and South American rainforests, helping photographers deepen their connection with nature while refining their craft. Additionally, before dedicating his life to photography, Jonas served as a human rights lawyer for the United Nations.

Hur motiverar man sig själv – när livet inte ger en samma förutsättningar som andra? I dagens avsnitt möter vi Daniel Belge, som blev helt blind efter en olycka som liten. Trots det har han bestigit Kebnekaise, cyklat Vätternrundan, sprungit maraton, kört triathlon – och nu senast blivit första blinda löparen som springer en mil på Svalbard. Men en av de saker han själv är mest stolt över? Att han utbildat sig till personlig tränare – för att kunna inspirera andra och visa att det aldrig är för sent att satsa på sina drömmar. Vi pratar om hur han tänker kring träning, motgångar och varför han ständigt söker sig utanför sin komfortzon. Det här är ett avsnitt om mod, driv och att inte låta sina begränsningar styra ens liv. Missa inte.

In this episode, I take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Sebastião Salgado - a photographer whose work documented mankind's destruction of our planet. Those of you familiar with Sebastião's photography will already know that he specialised in humanitarian documentary photojournalism. You may not be aware however that he was incredibly active in conservation in Brazil and that he was responsible for the replantation of millions of trees and the reconstruction of an entire ecosystem. Perhaps his most well known book ‘Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age‘ should be required reading for every photographer.  This short video in which Sebastião discusses his career and his photography is well worth fifteen minutes of your time. It is a remarkable insight into a truly remarkable photographer. Watch the video here: VIDEO Also in this episode, discuss my upcoming back-to-back trips for the Atlantic Puffin in Iceland as well as the 18-day expedition to Svalbard for Polar Bears in the pack ice. These three trips present some unique equipment challenges making packing a difficult compromise.2025 Zimanga South Africa Trip ReportSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013, Lis van Lynden has refused to let the condition define her limits. With no prior cycling experience or training, Lis set off in 2022 on a solo, unsupported ride around the entire coastline of Great Britain—covering 5,000 miles over seven months and raising over £13,000 for MS charities.  Her journey didn't stop there. Lis went on to cycle the Irish coastline and most recently visited 12 of the UK's national parks by bike, with plans to complete the final 3 in 2025.  Along the way, she's faced physical challenges, experienced incredible acts of kindness, and become a passionate advocate for others living with MS.  Lis's story is one of courage, conviction, and living life on her own terms—no matter the obstacles. *** Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

Looking for powerful children's books that spark curiosity, empathy, and environmental awareness? Our latest podcast episode dives into the incredible world of children's literature with two passionate authors who are changing how kids understand science, nature, and community. Meet Carolyn Armstrong, the creative mind behind the "Climate Kid Adventures" series. Her middle-grade novels, like "Echo Warriors," take readers on thrilling environmental journeys. From exploring the polar bear habitats of Svalbard to uncovering the mysteries of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Armstrong transforms complex scientific concepts into engaging stories that inspire young readers to care about our planet. Joining her is Courtney Cino, author of "Finally Home," a heartwarming picture book that offers a touching glimpse into military family life. Through the eyes of a young girl waiting for her Marine Corps pilot father to return, Cino illuminates the resilience, love, and sacrifice of military families. Both authors share a common mission: to create books that are more than just stories. They're windows into different worlds, tools for understanding, and catalysts for empathy. Whether it's learning about monarch butterfly migrations or experiencing the emotional journey of a military homecoming, these books invite children to explore, question, and connect. Whether you're a parent, educator, or book lover, this episode offers inspiration and hope. These "Moms On A Mission" are proving that children's literature can be a powerful force for positive change.

In this episode of The Crux, Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen, delve into the terrifying encounters between humans and polar bears. The episode recounts the harrowing survival stories of individuals like Matt Dyer and Elijah Carner, who faced life-threatening polar bear attacks in remote Arctic regions. The hosts discuss the increasing frequency of such encounters due to climate change, which causes bears to move closer to human territories.

In this episode, I discuss the latest article by Peta Pixel on my Polar photography, and wrap up the snowmobile expedition I just finished up here in Svalbard for Arctic Fox and Reindeer. The conversation also includes the destruction of the 200-800mm lens, also featured on Canon rumours and Peta-Pixel in the last few days.PetaPixel Article and Spotlight InterviewSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

L'Islande n'est pas une terre d'ours polaires. Pourtant, il arrive que ces grands carnivores y débarquent, à la dérive sur des blocs de glace venus du Groenland. Et quand cela se produit, l'issue est presque toujours fatale pour l'animal : il est abattu. Pourquoi une telle réaction, dans un pays pourtant très attaché à la nature ? La réponse tient à la fois à la biologie, à la géographie, à la sécurité publique et à l'impréparation du pays face à ce visiteur inattendu.D'abord, il faut savoir que l'ours polaire (Ursus maritimus) n'est pas originaire d'Islande. Son habitat naturel s'étend autour du cercle arctique, notamment dans des régions comme le Groenland, le Canada, la Russie ou le Svalbard. Mais avec le réchauffement climatique, les ours sont de plus en plus nombreux à se retrouver sur des morceaux de banquise détachés, qui dérivent sur des centaines de kilomètres. L'Islande se trouvant à environ 300 km des côtes sud du Groenland, ces blocs glacés peuvent parfois s'échouer sur ses rivages, transportant avec eux un passager inattendu.Depuis le début du XXe siècle, moins de 100 ours polaires ont été aperçus en Islande, dont une vingtaine depuis 1880. La majorité ont été abattus dès leur arrivée, une politique controversée mais soutenue par les autorités islandaises. Le dernier cas documenté remonte à juin 2008, lorsqu'un ours a été tué dans le nord du pays, près de Skagafjörður. Quelques semaines plus tôt, un autre avait connu le même sort à Hraun, à l'est.Pourquoi ne pas les capturer et les relâcher ailleurs ? C'est la première question que se posent beaucoup d'Islandais eux-mêmes. Mais en pratique, cela se révèle extrêmement complexe. L'Islande ne dispose d'aucune infrastructure adaptée pour accueillir temporairement un ours polaire, animal sauvage, dangereux et protégé. Les opérations de capture nécessiteraient l'intervention de vétérinaires spécialisés, des tranquillisants, des cages renforcées, un transport sécurisé… et tout cela doit être organisé en quelques heures, parfois dans des zones isolées.De plus, les ours qui atteignent l'Islande sont souvent affamés, après des jours ou des semaines de dérive. En quête de nourriture, ils peuvent se rapprocher des habitations humaines, ce qui représente un risque réel pour la population. Un ours adulte mesure jusqu'à 3 mètres debout et peut peser plus de 600 kilos. Les autorités justifient donc leur décision par le principe de précaution, en affirmant que la sécurité des habitants passe avant tout.Cette politique fait débat. Des associations de protection des animaux ont réclamé des solutions alternatives, comme la mise en place d'une équipe spécialisée ou la construction d'un enclos temporaire. Mais pour l'instant, rien n'a changé. Tant que les moyens logistiques ne sont pas réunis, les ours polaires continuent d'être abattus dès qu'ils mettent les pattes sur le sol islandais.

The last few months have seen major shifts in the balance of power in the far north, with the US making threats toward Greenland, Russia exerting pressure on Svalbard, and Arctic shipping routes, once seen as a counterweight to the Suez Canal, are now increasingly having their viability called into question. So as Greenland heads to the polls, the territory finds itself voting on far more than just a new legislature; instead deciding on the makeup of a future arctic flashpoint that could see NATO facing pressures from both the east and the west. This week, we sit down with our expert panel to analyse how we arrived at this position, the economic factors most people overlook when discussing the Arctic, and how likely these geopolitical tensions are to escalate into conflict. On the panel this week: - Jennifer Spence (Harvard Belfer Center) - Nicolas Jouan (RAND Europe) - Sigbjørn Halsne (Norwegian Armed Forces) Intro - 00:00 PART I - 03:06 PART II - 28:54 PART III - 49:15 Outro - 1:19:54 Follow the show on https://x.com/TheRedLinePod Follow Michael on https://x.com/MikeHilliardAus Support the show at: https://www.patreon.com/theredlinepodcast Submit Questions and Join the Red Line Discord Server at: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/discord For more info, please visit: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
