Camping beneath the southern sky in Antarctica. Soaring by helicopter over sweeping polar landscapes. Listening to whale songs alongside scientists in residence. Spending unhurried time in remote, seldom-visited Greenlandic communities. Tasting Icelandic cuisine prepared by the people who know it best. Walking among ancient ruins in northern Scotland with experts in Neolithic history.
