Photographer Amy Bragg captured a herd of reindeer preparing for their upcoming task :) . She shared the following fun fact:

Reindeer males drop their antlers in November, while females keep their antlers through the winter until their calves are born in May. So that means all of Santa's reindeer are FEMALES!

Let go Girls!

Hey there - If you’re interested in a future without climate change and investment in American communities, I would keep reading.

The Biden administration is one step away from approving project Willow, an oil drilling operation in the Alaskan Arctic. Its estimated that when burned the oil will introduce 280 million metric tons of greenhouse gases and other climate pollutants into the atmosphere in the next thirty years. To avoid the worst effects of climate change its estimated that global carbon neutrality should be achieved by 2050.

The Alaskan economy is increasingly reliant upon profits from private oil companies. The subsidies from projects such as Willow are used to build schools and roads. However, Climate change in Alaska has caused the collapse of the permafrost, leading to the decay of slope villages and disruptions to thousands of years old practices by native Alaskans, who use hunting and fishing to feed their families. Not to mention that an oil leak in the area would pollute these waters and lands, it would also be near impossible to repair under Arctic conditions. Instead of providing government support to Alaskan communities, the Biden administration is risking more damage to native communities and the environment.

We had already seen bald eagles and Dall’s porpoises, but there was much more to come. The big draw at the glacier itself were the harbor seals (Phoca vitulina). When we first began to approach the glacier…
