GATES OF THE ARCTIC: Journey to the Midnight Sun (Expedition #64)
OVERVIEW: A once-in-a-lifetime Remote experience! In fact, it is among the remotest of the remote! Imagine flying by floatplane into Gates of the Arctic National Preserve, the least visited of all the National Parks because access is limited to floatplane only. Imagine setting up a basecamp on a lakeshore somewhere 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle! Imagine not seeing any humans other than our group and our pilot for the entire week! Imagine that your home is also shared by caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, porcupine, wolverine, eagle, Dahl’s sheep and a host of migrating birds. The opportunity to learn communal survival techniques are lessons that you will take with you for a lifetime. Experiences of drinking from a lake so clean that the water need not be filtered. Imagine your first experience of fly fishing or gathering foods (like berries) done iN such a majestic, vast, quiet space where the sun never sets. 6 CORE CREDITS: THEO 388 (Core THEO 200, Env Sci/Studies, ERS, Humanities Elective, Free Elective, Peace Studies Elective) and ENGL 205 (Core ENGL 205, ERS, Humanities Elective, Free Elective).
