Jeff Kerby maps extraordinary life at extremes
 “I was hoping jealously that it was something like a poppy. It's more charismatic than a purple saxifrage.” Though frosted, purple saxifrage blooms lurked on a nearby mountainside on the northern coast of Inuit Qeqertaat—a small island off the northernmost coast of Greenland, and the last stretch of land on top of the earth.
Kerby and team trudged dozens of kilometers through bitter cold hauling gear, food, and even a rubber dingy to a staging camp on Greenland's north coastline. “So much gear,” he recalls. It was July. Kerby managed to snap some photos of the world’s northernmost flower while scouting, with plans to return the following day with his full kit, but the team was hit by a blizzard. Instead, they began hauling their gear back to their rendezvous point.

WorkThe unexpected place that could become animmigrationflashpoint under TrumpOur mission could not be more clear and more necessary: We have a duty to explain what just happened, and why, and what it means for you.

Reporting that is driven by truth, not by what people in power want you to believe. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWork"Mike Knew Apocalypses Had Been Coming at Us All Along." Rebecca Solnit on the Great Mike Davis ‹ Literary HubPeople were right that Mike Davis was a prophet, but wrong about what a prophet is. There’s a debased version in which prophets are oracles, like Nostodamus and witches staring into crystal balls in bad movies, equipped with a supernatural ability to see the future the rest of us can’t. Mike had an entirely natural ability, earned through decades of reading, observing, and participating, to see the past and present with depth and breadth and in them read the consequences of what we were doing and some of the potential futures. “You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,” Bob Dylan sang, but if you wanted to know which way it was going to blow, studying meterology helps. Remembering that we sowed the wind helps you know that we will reap the whirlwind.
