  • The Bravest Little Dog in Alaska: Glacier Bay National Park

    The Bravest Little Dog in Alaska: Glacier Bay National Park
    Apr 6 2026
    In the summer of 1880, John Muir set out to explore the icy wilderness of what is now Glacier Bay National Park. Traveling by canoe with a missionary and Tlingit guides, he reluctantly allowed a small black dog named Stickeen to join the expedition. At first, Muir dismissed the dog as a useless companion. However, when a violent storm trapped the two of them on Brady Glacier, surrounded by deep crevasses and failing daylight, Stickeen revealed a courage Muir could not ignore, forever reshaping how he understood the minds of animals.

  • The Questionable Death of Duncan MacPherson: Stubai Alps

    The Questionable Death of Duncan MacPherson: Stubai Alps
    Mar 30 2026
    In August of 1989, 23 year-old Duncan MacPherson vanished from a ski resort in Austria. His parents relentlessly and fruitlessly sought answers for 14 years, until 2003 when a melting glacier revealed Duncan’s remains. What they thought would be the answer to the question that haunted them for decades, turned out to be just the beginning of another heart-wrenching search for answers. Was Duncan the victim of a tragic accident, or was he murdered?
