More from the East Coast of Greenland (2022). In less than 10 days I’ll join an @insidenatgeo supported expedition that will fly up the east coast to Station Nord. From there we’ll head up to the northernmost edge of land, including a long hike in. Everyone is busy packing and prepping! Looking forward to meeting up with Brian Buma, Aka Simonsen, and Alejandra Borunda in Iceland to get out search for the northernmost life on land started!

Keeping an eye on ice conditions around Inuit Qeqertaat, aka Coffee Club Island in northern Greenland. I’m heading there - the northernmost known land on earth - with a @NatGeo expedition in the coming weeks. We’re going to try to walk out to the island across the ice…so hoping things stay solid up there!

Here’s an Ethiopian wolf lurking behind a gelada monkey. The gelada isn’t too concerned, however. These wolves mostly eat rodents and will often hang out with the geladas! A funny pairing. Vivek Venkataraman and I wrote up a paper describing this (along with other colleagues from Ethiopia and the US)…and some media reported it as ‘monkeys domesticating wolves’! Hardly…

How about we do behind the scenes? Here’s a nice start to the day from a research trip to western Greenland with Christian John in 2021. A place I’ve spent many summers there since 2009…and am super excited for a brief visit back this August!

Niviarsiaq - a flower that threads itself from south to north in Greenland. Apt for a national flower! Hope to see a few on our upcoming @natgeo trip to the northern tip of land on the planet! With Brian Buma, Aka Simonsen, and Alejandra Borunda.
