Amidst Yellowstone National Park's 150th anniversary, Indigenous artists deeply connected to their ancestral land, share projects steeped in traditional ecological knowledge in an act of rematriation, and ceremony. Here, the land itself cradles their memories, recognizing them as integral threads in its rich tapestry.

How the Land Remembers Us

In the frozen heights of Canada’s tallest peak, an international team of scientists launches a daring expedition to unearth thousands of years of climate data in one record-breaking ice core. Glaciologist and National Geographic Explorer Alison Criscitiello is the brain and brawn behind this ambitious quest. As she leads her team on a 10-day climb up the mountain, through whiteout conditions and precarious icefalls, Ali and her team defeat the odds and reach Mt. Logan’s summit plateau where they camp for 16 days, while drilling in frigid conditions. Photo credit: Leo Hoorn
