FROSTLINES
Dispatches from the New Arctic
In the tradition of Barry Lopez, FROSTLINES will look at the changing Arctic from many different regions and perspectives, using one particularly compelling thread - his time spent with Arctic wolves on Ellesmere Island.
The days he spent with those wolves, in that wilderness, changed his life. He looks at the Inuit and the militarization that is creeping into the great north. He looks at vanishing caribou and dying ways of life, but also new frontiers in science and culture. This is a sweeping yet intimate account of the New Arctic and unlike most of what we read about the region, it isn't a funeral but a transformation, a tale of how this fascinating and mysterious place is adapting to climate change.
Neil Shea is an award-winning writer, documentary filmmaker and podcaster, who writes for National Geographic and serves as an editorial contributor to Virginia Quarterly Review and American Scholar. His obsession has always been the Arctic, and last year he wrote two utterly compelling stories that ran in NatGeo's special issue on the Arctic, eliciting an enormous response. Something then just told me that Neil Shea should be writing a book about the changing Arctic inspired by his many years of boots-on-the-ground reporting there. His gifts as an observer, storyteller and prose stylist are uniquely matched to this task. He has done TedX talks and countless courses, lectures and workshops. His piece on the militarization of the Arctic (Sept 2019) was nominated for a Pulitzer. He is scheduled for two trips to the Arctic next year as he continues to explore this expanse of the earth in the throes of change. I would encourage you to spend time on Neil's website (and Instagram he has 64,000 followers). One can get lost in both. https://www.neilshea.net/
