The Arctic is dry, and when the wind doesn’t blow it is so dry you almost don’t notice the cold. The wind is the persistent one that always makes sure you know it is there.
On Sept. 3, 2009, I was chosen from among my colleagues to travel aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Polar Sea, homeported in Seattle. It wasn't just the selection that had me shaking, but the fact that I was fulfilling a life-long dream. For what made this trip truly special was the fact that I would not be working for the Coast Guard at all, but rather I would be an intern for National Geographic, and helping film the polar bear's plight in their melting world. This blog will document my journey.
