BEYOND HER HORIZONS

In 2023, an all-female cross-disciplinary team sailed the Northwest Passage, from Pond Inlet (Nunavut) to Nome (Alaska), in a journey called the Beyond Her Horizons expedition. Their goal was to explore, document, and honor the untold stories of Inuit and non-Indigenous women in the history of Arctic exploration. Along the way, they visited Inuit communities, made records of the natural environment, created new artwork, and foregrounded the stories of the women they spoke to and learned from. Artist and expedition co-leader Jessica Houston joins us at Terror Camp, to talk about her time aboard the 6-meter sailboat Que Sera, share film footage from the expedition, and discuss new ways of telling Arctic history. Learn more about Beyond Her Horizons here.

Julian Sancton

In the Antarctic winter of 1898, Belgian naval officer Adrien de Gerlache, captain of the Belgica, made the glory-seeking (and ill-advised) decision to sail deep into the ice, ultimately stranding his ship and and its multinational crew for months in the polar night. In his book, Madhouse at the End of the Earth, Julian Sancton chronicles the mayhem that unfolded under those most extreme circumstances.
