Arctic Life Forever

Note: This post is a lit­tle dated, but it seemed nec­es­sary to com­plete the thought.

Happy IPY!

“Inter­na­tional Polar Year (IPY) will see thou­sands of sci­en­tists, from more than 60 nations, work­ing together on 220 projects at high latitudes.“

Joseph Peeples, Antartica, 1963

“We still know very lit­tle about Antarc­tica and the Arc­tic. But the big dif­fer­ence is that we now know the regions are very important.“

Joseph-1

It seems in times past my grand­fa­ther has lived out my dreams or passed his expe­ri­ences to me genet­i­cally. I am in love with the ocean, the arc­tic, the color blue. I lose my mind when I see the ocean, its vast depths, its secrets we will never know. Some­day maybe I can spend time in the arc­tic and at sea. Obvi­ously not for mil­i­tary con­quest, but there must be a way.
