Listening for Nuclear Tests at the Top of the World
At Qaanaaq, in Greenland, there's IS18: an infrasound station that's quietly listening for nuclear tests — or any other large bang. Here's what, why, and a few words the man who, for years, has been quietly keeping it running. Pull down this description for more!
I'm here because of Chris Hadfield's Generator Arctic - go check out everyone else who was on the trip, and have a look at tickets for their show at Massey Hall, Toronto, on November 12th! http://generatorevent.com
Thanks to all the team at Quark Expeditions - http://www.quarkexpeditions.com - who made it possible for us to get there, and whose crew and staff on board were just amazing!
Thanks to Elmo Keep - http://elmokeep.com - who not only held the camera for this, but who tracked down Svend Erik and got him to drive out to the station! There's a whole behind-the-scenes detective story there. She's also writing a detailed profile of Svend-Erik: follow her on Twitter to see it when it's published! https://twitter.com/elmo_keep
Also on the voyage:
Ben Brown produced daily vlogs on board: https://www.youtube.com/user/benbrown100
Norm and Joey from Tested are putting together videos from inside the ship: http://www.youtube.com/user/testedcom
TimToTheWild is putting together beautiful footage: https://www.youtube.com/user/TimtotheWild
