Abstract

The article "In the Endless Arctic Light" describes a journey to the far north of Norway, specifically the Svalbard Archipelago, to witness the effects of climate change. A group of artists, writers, and academics participate in the Arctic Circle Expeditionary Residency Program to explore the intersection of art, science, and activism in the face of urgent climate issues. The Arctic's stark beauty, melting ice, and impact on local communities are highlighted, prompting reflection on the environmental challenges faced in the region. The article emphasizes the importance of bearing witness to the changing Arctic landscape and the need for creative responses to climate change. [Extracted from the article]
