Scientist and adventurer Caroline Van Hemert shares tales and photos from her 4,000-mile human-powered expedition from the Pacific rainforest to the Arctic coast by foot, ski, pack raft and homemade rowboat. For six months, she crossed some of the most remote and rugged places left on earth. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, her story explores the bounds of the human body and the tenuousness of life in the company of creatures whose daily survival is nothing short of miraculous. Van Hemert will also read excerpts from her new book The Sun Is a Compass, which chronicles the journey.
