Life Below Zero: Part III

January 22, 2016 / Ben Castellani

In this third, and possibly final portion of the Life Below Zero series, I cover the perilous flight from Iceland to Greenland, some of the nuances of life on the Ice Sheet, and my unexpected departure from Greenland due to medical concerns.

Life Below Zero: Part I

January 8, 2016 / Ben Castellani

Over the course of my graduate studies at CU Boulder, my atmospheric research has taken me to one of the coldest and harshest places on Earth, central Greenland. I made the trip north four times over the course of just three years, studying cloud formation, snowfall, and weather patterns, among other things. Traveling to Greenland is something few people will ever get the chance (or possibly want) to do. Thus, I would like to share my experiences with you all by retelling my many Arctic adventures.
