Meltwater: A Timepiece for the Arctic – Stephen Lezak

Stephen Lezak is a PhD Candidate in the Scott Polar Research
Institute at the University of Cambridge. His work focuses on the
politics of climate change in the context of communities and
landscapes in the North American Arctic. In this essay, Stephen
explores the paradoxical human narratives that overlay the Arctic
landscape—a frontier, a paradise, a marker of our destruction of
the planet—as he bears witness to a place that is teetering in an
uneasy balance between eternity and loss. Learn more about your ad
