Online slide show: Nadja Steiner

“2019, before Covid closed the North, turned out to be my Arctic year. In March, work brought me into several communities in the Western Arctic for consultations on a study of climate change impacts on Arctic marine ecosystems. The visits provided a glimpse of the changes and experiences the Inuit communities are going through. In July I joined an Alpine Club trip to hike the Traverse Akshayuk Pass traverse in the Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island, described as a natural corridor through a landscape of towering rock. The slideshow will provide some visuals and stories from both experiences mixed with a bit of science background of a changing Arctic.”
