Welcome to Arctic Chronicles

This journal will document my journey to one of the most unexplored areas in the world—the Arctic—as I accompany scientists on an expedition to map the seafloor. This will be a collaborative effort between the U.S. and Canada.

I will be joining the USGS portion of this research onboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy from September 6 to October 1, 2008.

My journey will take me from Washington, DC, to Barrow, Alaska, and then on to Healy by helicopter. Once we set sail, I will write and submit photographs to this blog on a regular basis and gather video I will share once I return. You can follow along with the journey using the Follow the Journey button at the top of the page.
