[|Arctic sound, lost and found] - Jennifer Kingsley spends time with all kinds of people in a variety of wild places, but she returns to the Arctic almost every year. She has taken some long journeys across the north by canoe, but these days she travels on a beautiful expedition ship. On her most recent journey, Jenny was struck by the different soundscapes these modes of travel offer. http://outbounding.org/articles/view/arctic-sound-lost-and-found

[|Northern Lives] - If the Arctic is considered the world's barometer for measuring climate change, then the Sámi are at its mercury. We travel to the Norwegian Arctic to meet with a group of reindeer herders who are worried their traditional knowledge might not be enough to survive the changing climate.

Arctic Sea Ice
The Arctic Ocean is covered by a dynamic layer of sea ice that grows each winter and shrinks each summer, reaching its yearly minimum size each fall. The Arctic sea ice is a major factor in the global climate system. The ice cools the planet by reflecting sunlight back into space. It also helps drive ocean circulation by converting the warm Pacific water that flows into the Arctic into the cold, saltier water that empties into the Atlantic. The sea ice also fundamentally shapes the Arctic; defining the organisms that make up its ecosystem and keeping heat from the ocean from melting the frozen tundra.
