Travels in the Arctic and Africa
Hello! Welcome to this blog, which is essentially the rough draft of a travel book slated for publication in 2025, in which I recount my extensive travels in the Arctic and Africa over a thirty year period. In that timeframe, I traveled from Alaska to Zanzibar,and points in betwee; from the snowdrifts of Banks Island and Iqaluit in Canada's North to the sanddunes of Mauritania and Namibia in Africa. I have sailed halfway through the Northwest Passage, worked as a juggie on seismic crews on the ice and land of the High Arctic, and visited a total of eleven African countries from Morocco in the northwest, down to South Africa, and up the east coast to Mauritania, Tanzania, and lastly, Kenya. I have also trekked on Baffin Island and climbed Mount Kenya, conducted consulting assignments with the Inuvialuit of the Western Arctic and various governments all over coastal Africa. These fourteen chapters represent my reflections of those journeys. I hope you enjoy them!
