The project\\'s focus was to allow the world to know the four million people living at the top of the world: their culture, their stories, and how climate change is affecting the way they live. The project ran from 2015 to 2018 and investigated the parts of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, and Svalbard that have been rarely explored. Jennifer is also the author of the book, Paddlenorth: Adventure, Resilience, and Renewal in the Arctic Wild, which tells the story of her adventures as she and five companions canoe through the icy and harsh\u2015yet breathtaking\u2015Arctic landscape.\u00a0Jennifer joins me to share what drives her to explore the northernmost regions of the planet and the events and people who fueled her adventurous spirit. She describes what the Canadian North is like and why she recommends it for group adventures. She explains the reason behind the book, Paddlenorth, and where her passion for writing started. She discusses how the pandemic made her look at her life choices. Jennifer also shares the beauty of listening to a person\u2019s story and what she\u2019s been doing recently.\u00a0\\\"We have no idea what extraordinary things people have been through.\\'\\\"- Jennifer Kingsley\u00a0This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Who Jennifer Kingsley is and her adventures around the world\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jennifer\\'s earliest memories and her most significant influences\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jennifer\\'s passion for journaling and her writing habits\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why Jennifer recommends the Canadian North for adventurers\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The craziest bear encounter Jennifer\\'s ever had\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What made Jennifer write Paddlenorth\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The life lessons Jennifer learned from the pandemic\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Phone calls and the anxiety they brought Jennifer all her life\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why listening to someone\\'s story can be a gift\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The first time Jennifer ran away from home\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jennifer\\'s thoughts on climate change and how it affected countries differently\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why Jennifer was accused of avoiding the topic of climate change\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What the pandemic has been like for Jennifer\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What is next for Jennifer in the coming months\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jennifer answers my lightning round questions\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The one thing Jennifer wants everyone to understand about the Arctic\u00a0Connect with Jennifer Kingsley:\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Book: Paddlenorth: Adventure, Resilience, and Renewal in the Arctic Wild\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Me","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/1dfd0129-13dd-4580-97c9-75e77f559ffc/1472142-1680641322.jpg"}
