A nice example of mountain tourism networks: an 1890s postcard of Spiterstulen turisthytte in Jotunheimen, produced by Mittet & Co. (from the Universitetsbiblioteket i Bergen collection)

Not a bad way to start the day, with a visit to the @Fisher_Library to look over some C19 Arctic publications. Look at that map and that marbling from 1818!

Nasugraq R. Hopson (EAGLE DRUMS book)
‘Tasting Light’ is available October 11th! My short story, ‘the weight of a name’ is a look into what our indigenous culture and community might look like 300 years into the future. I wrote this for the nerdy little Inupiaq girl I was (and still am). #inupiaq #indigenous #author

The sixth essay in our @NiCHE_Canada 'Visual Cultures of the Circumpolar North' series is by @mattfarish. Centred around a photograph taken during Operation Franklin (1955), Farish explores the objectives that underpinned this Arctic image and operation. tinyurl.com/3sdhm9xk

'The generous light of a July horizon [steams] with spouts of spray; curved backs breaching and vanishing in a slick of black; birds circling overhead. Humpbacks probably. It is an auspicious start to a book tour.' @journeysinbtwn heads to the Westfjords bit.ly/3KTVBuC

I wrote about Coca-Cola advertising for Arctic Relations! Thanks to @CharlyGehrke and @HansenMagnusson for enabling my addiction to polar bear imagery.

The third essay in our @NiCHE_Canada series 'Visual Cultures of the Circumpolar North' is by @sarahmpicks. A superb piece that unpicks the heroic, colonial, chauvinist, and racial narratives of polar exploration through the illustrated periodical 'Puck'. tinyurl.com/muexhjtd

Finally got my hands on a copy of #Ice #Humanities - a book that was co-edited with Professor Sverker Sorlin from @KTHEnvHumsLab and produced by the editorial staff attached @ManchesterUP who were a pleasure to work with. It builds on a wealth of scholarship and experience of ice
