Adventure is Afoot!

Let the adventure begin! Hi, it's Tim, and I've successfully made it from my home in Chicago to beautiful, sunny Cape Town, South Africa. Let me tell you about leg #1 of this epic journey.

Planes, Vans, Ships and Helicopters

Getting to the Weddell Sea is not easy. This journey calls for many different and unique methods of transport. Let's look some of the ways the Endurance22 team is getting from place to place.

Icelandic Fish and Potatoes

Let's dive into one of Iceland's famous dishes. We'll talk about the difference between American and Icelandic dishes, its fish culture, and fascinating ways of preparing Icelandic food!

I'm excited to tell you all about my experience seeing Arctic foxes in Iceland. Let's learn about these creatures, from their diet to their environment!

Underwater Archeology and the Search for Endurance

Hi, I'm Mensun Bound, and I am leading the underwater search for Endurance. As a marine archeologist, I have located and mapped many sunken ships before, but Endurance is something extra special.

My Research

I knew from a young age that I wanted to work on or near the world's oceans. Here's how I turned that passion into a number of fascinating research projects in and around Iceland.

Þorrablót - Midwinter Festival

Welcome to Þorrablót, the Icelandic midwinter festival during which people recite poems about the Norse god, Thor, and eat fermented shark. Let's investigate!

Conservation vs. Exploitation

Many of the unique environments that make Iceland special can also make it a challenging place to live at times. Let's explore how people have adapted to this ever-changing island. 

A Typical Week in Ísafjörður

It has been a fairly typical week in Ísafjörður, which for me means 1,000 tiny earthquakes, some spectacular northern lights viewing, and a polar plunge to welcome the new year!

Before we journey to Iceland together, let me introduce myself and tell you a little more about how I came to be living in (and exploring) Iceland.
