Photo by @jtkerby | In the Arctic, thawing permafrost pours into the ocean as temperatures in the region continue to rise. Qikiqtaruk (Herschel Island) is a small, frozen chunk of land hugging the Arctic coastline. At the western edge of the Yukon Coast, this island is a historical hub for Inuvialuit, and later, European-descended hunters, fishermen, and whalers. A few buildings remain standing on a spit of land that itself is on the verge of being inundated by storm surges (when I arrived there for the first time in 2016, nearly all of the buildings had water lapping up against their edges after a huge storm), but in summer it's likely that there are more caribou on the island than people. That's truly something considering the caribou need to swim out across a narrow stretch of the Beaufort Sea to make landfall. All along the edges of the island, erosion peels back the layers of frozen tundra - a process happening along large stretches of the northern coast of Canada and Alaska. As permafrost dumps sediment into the ocean, the creeping coastline threatens to send coastal archeological sites into the water as well. About this photo: Truly data becoming art. This photo is from a home-made airplane-style drone I built to map changes in the tundra. I joined a group of researchers (@teamshrub) to help them capture data at this site, returning in the summer of 2017 with support from @insidenatgeo to build on these efforts. Every photo from these mapping flights is a page in a larger book about the broader patterns of change happening in the Arctic. #Arctic #Canada #NatGeo #InsideNateGeo #Herschel #TeamShrub #DartArctic | For more from the Arctic, follow @jtkerby
