]]> Comment on Extreme weather in Kugluktuk as team depart by dana biscotti myskowski http://www.arcticvoice.org/blog/?p=44#comment-900 dana biscotti myskowski Sun, 09 Sep 2007 18:26:43 +0000 http://www.arcticvoice.org/blog/?p=44#comment-900 Thank you for allowing the rest of us to travel with you on your expedition. If there are any connections you'd like to make in New Hampshire, the United States, I'd be happy to look into linking one of my university classes or my daughter's high school classes. In the meantime, know that even without local press coverage here, your story is being followed and thoroughly enjoyed. I've even referenced your blog in my graduate thesis paper: a screenplay that is set in Nunavut and Newfoundland, Canada in an environment of advanced global climate change--examining through one character's journey what that means to the Inuit. Cheers, Dana Myskowski student, professor, writer, mother, and--thanks to you--armchair adventurer Thank you for allowing the rest of us to travel with you on your expedition.

Elaine and I are really pleased for you. Have even recruited another supporter from the Southern States of America who had been looking in. The word is getting out. Great trip, take care all the best Gordon and Elaine (Johnson that is, not the Scottish one!) :) Hi both,

My friends in Nunavik (arctic Quebec) tell me of similar environmental warming changes there as well. Looks like we're in for times which will test our abilities to adapt to new realities in even more ways that we thought! All the best!

We don't know if you will get this short note, I do know that our local paper correspondent did email a few times and didn't get any response so I think he simply gave up. He wanted to do all he could for the expedition due to Richard being local to here but that beggars another comment. We wish you both a safe and timely return and would love to hear all about your trip in due course. Best wishes, Norrie and Rose (Gordon's mum and dad) Hi all

I have been reading the Arctic Voice blog and see that Stephen is only 50 nautical miles from Kugluktuk. It's exciting to here that he will be coming into town and I will be sharing his experiences with my classes today. I am curious to see if you would have time to come into the school and talk with some of the classes. I think they would be interested in what you have been doing. Anyways, I wish you all the luck in the rest of your expeditions and I hope you enjoy your stay in Kugluktuk. Sincerely, Tim Rollwagen Science Teacher, Kugluktuk High School Hi,

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world! It's an incredible journey and I applaud your efforts--both the physical event and the educational component. I was hired a few years ago to write a planetarium show on global climate change directed at junior high students ("Breathing Space," which screens at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord, New Hampshire, USA). Interviewing the numerous scientists has changed my life and inspired my current graduate thesis project: a Nunavut and Newfoundland-set Inuit and qallunaat story of respect, love, and family amidst a backdrop of oil-company wrong doings that have devastating results on the local coastal villages. (So you can imagine that I found your Shell adventures especially interesting!) Safe travels! Cheers, dana (I'm in my final semester of study as a low-residency MFA in Creative Writing student, focusing on writing for the stage and screen, at Goddard College, in Plainfield, Vermont.)
