SUMMARY:Odd Salon + Context Travel: The Frozen North
DESCRIPTION:Journey to the (virtual) Arctic Circle\, and a look at the science\, culture\, and history of exploration at the top of the world. The Arctic has long fascinated people from around the world. Learn how myth compares with reality through the experiences of an Arctic scientist and traveler. \nFor most people\, the Arctic is a distant realm\, full of unlikely creatures such as the narwhal as well as fur-clad hunters equally at home on ice floes as on open tundra. Nowadays\, the Arctic also makes news for the rapid loss of sea ice and for the increasing development of resources and transportation routes. The changing Arctic affects the world’s weather and climate. Mineral development can disrupt traditional ways of life. China\, Russia\, and the United States vie for influence and opportunity in the far north. How do these stories intersect? \nHenry P. Huntington earned his bachelor’s degree in English at Princeton University and his master’s and a doctorate in Polar Studies at the University of Cambridge. He lives in Eagle River\, Alaska\, where he works as an independent researcher and on Arctic Ocean conservation for Ocean Conservancy. Huntington’s research activities include reviewing the regulation of subsistence hunting in northern Alaska\, documenting traditional ecological knowledge of marine mammals\, examining Iñupiat Eskimo and Inuit knowledge and use of sea ice\, and assessing the impacts of climate change on Arctic communities and Arctic marine mammals. \nTuesday\, July 27\nThe Frozen North: An Introduction to the Arctic with Dr. Henry Huntington\nOnline\, via Zoom\nThis is part one of our four part collaboration with Context Travel\, as a special Members & Fellows series. These private events are included for free for all current Odd Salon Members\, Fellows. To join us: New members may join by purchasing either the four part series pass for $125\, or purchase tickets here to join the membership and reserve a spot for this seminar only for our standard annual membership cost of $100. \n\nABOUT CONTEXT TRAVEL: Context Learning is a cultural education provider\, connecting global scholars with lifelong learners. Founded in Rome in 2003\, Context started as a tour operator for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences in the world’s cultural capitals\, growing quickly to 20\,000 tours a year across 70+ destinations. After COVID-19 halted travel operations\, Context continued to expand\, launching live\, scholar-led seminars and courses presented online. What emerged was a thriving community of experts and learners keen to continue exploring\, growing\, and philosophizing\, regardless of their location. To date we’ve covered thousands of topics ranging from Tuscany to Timbuktu\, Caravaggio to Frida Kahlo\, Ancient Rome to Brexit. Context strives to be the cultural center for lifelong learning\, at-home\, on the ground\, and everywhere in between.   \nIf you are not already familiar with the many wonders of Context Travel\, we’d heartily encourage you to go forth and explore their virtual and real-world exploration offerings
