I was deeply touched by the story of someone helping you keep going. I won’t go into detail, but at a time when I was near death, I felt my father’s hand cup the top of my head, which he always did when I was ill. I knew I would live and stopped worrying about my kids. I do not care if it was real; it remains a powerful experience and one of the most important moments of my life. Thank you.

It seems like it may be important to figure out how a lemming lives out on the ice– what it eats, etc. It seems their habitat will change dramatically over the years

I worked in Inuvik NWT in the late 90’s and it was an incredible experience. December is total darkness and the in the summer you get almost 3 months of sunshine. The most amazing thing is that Inuit people have not only lived in the high arctic for thousands of years, they thrived there . One of the most interesting conversations I ever had was with an Inuit elder who explained that if you fought the weather you would surely die, but if you learned to live with it, it would help you live . I’ve never met anyone more in tuned to the environment than Inuit people .

No one asked about pooping and peeing in the Arctic??? I am going to assume you’re crapping in a bag and packing it out, but taking 50 days of toilet paper is a lot (and you’re packing it all out, too) and using a bidet type system would be crazy because water on your butt would freeze pretty quickly, right? So, what’s the solution?
Also, I want to know if he’s taking an electric fence system. I know they are hit or miss in their effectiveness. I assume bear spray would just freeze?
I still have so many questions. 😑

Polar bears are the psychopaths of the arctic.. they are always so calm and non-chalant seeming even when actively pursuing prey.. i can imagine them just being so strong they would just start holding you down effortlessly and start eating slowly and calmly totally ignoring your screams as cries as if you arent even there until they stop and he can enjoy his meal in peace and quiet

(27:20) Nope. Correction is needed here: ice has no gravitational pull. Only ice sitting on a land mass will be the one to be able to rise sea levels. Antarctic ice sheet (South Pole) is sitting on a solid land mass. He is right when saying when an ice cube melts it won’t rise the level of the water. In the North is a mass of ice is floating on water (ice cube) but unable to move much because of the rotation of the planet. It is still a disaster if we manage (as we do) to melt both ice caps, but the Antarctic melting will cause more havoc. Research shows we do indeed melting both rapidly.
