Season 2! Episode 1: Brrr! A Brief History and Archaeology of the Arctic

What this episode covers

We're back, baby! Gill, Lulu and Kelsey took some time off to finish up the school year, but we are back with a second season for all our lovely People! Since Kelsey is currently in the Yukon, and Gill also focuses on Arctic Archaeology, we thought our first episode back after our hiatus would be about the history of the resourceful, resilient people that inhabit the Circumpolar North, as well as how Arctic archaeology is conducted and some of the pros and cons of working up North (spoiler alert: one of the cons is polar bears). With the heatwave we are currently in, we are also constantly reminded of climate disaster that we are experiencing globally. We briefly discuss the insights we can glean from the Arctic, and how it is affected. Cool off with this *chill* episode during these hot summer months! **Note: Kelsey had to record outside, surrounded by a bunch of people, so there are some background noises that we couldn't edit out.
