Bering Sea #SeaIce extent has fallen 30 percent since the start of February and is now the 2nd lowest for this point in the season in the past 47 years of NSIDC data. The only lower season, 2017-18, showed that this will impact the Bering Sea ecosystem and people's lives/livelihoods. #Arctic #akwx

hey #alaskasky, if you’re in anchorage, this week is your last chance to see danielle stickman and my work in the APU gallery in grant hall. our show, The Space We Breathe, is an exploration of the transcendent “everything” of the natural world that shapes our lives in the north.

I'm not sure yet if this site has the same community of #freelance writers eager to hear a #callforpitches as the other side, but let's see if we can't find out.

@trailsmag.net is looking for pitches for Issues 10 and 11!
