I’ve just left my Arctic Apartment No. 102 and am about to board a “toy plane” from Leknes to Bodø.

I’ve spent the last four days with an amazing team of filmmakers and photographers on a shoot for National Geographic Apparel, and what an experience it has been!

It was fascinating to step behind the scenes and see what it actually takes to bring a short film to life — the amount of planning, coordination, logistics, creativity and sheer hard work that goes into just a few minutes of film, and the incredible number of people working behind the scenes to make it happen.

And, of course, it was pretty fun to step out of my usual role as a scientist and become a model for the shoot. Although not exactly the boring kind of model who just stands around looking pretty. I got to hike, kayak through fjords, rock climb and see a double rainbow on the top of a mountain — all while trying to look good in torrential rain and Nordic wind. Not entirely sure I succeeded at the last part. 😂

A huge shoutout to this incredible team:

🎬Producers @andreaohland and @tessasoole , who made sure everything was perfectly organised and running like a Swiss watch.

🎥 Directors @johnnylangenheim and @notyetfamous , who envisioned this fantastic adventure story and were so open to incorporating Ciril’s and my ideas about how we wanted to be portrayed in the film.

📹 Cinematographer @troyedige who squeezed himself into a tiny hole between the rocks to film me sampling in a “cave”. Dedication!

🧭My fellow National Geographic Explorer @ciriljazbec with whom I managed to do so many different things in just three days that it feels like we’ve been friends for years. And we laughed A LOT along the way.

📸 Total badass photographer and filmmaker @grace.t.s.p , who kept her cool while dangling from a rope in the rain and wind to film me rock climbing.

✨The Real Models, @zachdelf and @ellewhite2.0 who somehow manage to look incredible in every single photo.

Wonderful local crew members Yngvar and Inge, plus the climbers who kept us safe.

☕️ Our amazing assistants Doris, Louise, Tuma who kept us caffeinated, well fed, and powdering our noses.

Thank you all for an incredible experience!

Life in the mountains this week 🌞

Escapism and community don’t always have to be separate - the little towns and villages of Val Di Fassa are surrounded by rugged, wild mountains, but full of daily celebrations of Ladin tradition and culture. What a place to live 🦦

Also yes, I have the same stripey tshirt in 3 different colours 🫪 I love it ok! [AD]

Danylo Yavhusishyn was only 17 when he and his family fled their home in Ukraine. Just three years later, living in Japan, he achieved the fastest promotion to sumo wrestling’s’s second-highest rank since the second world war.

Now streaming on WePresent, this is the short film “Refugee Rikishi,” created by filmmakers @johnnylangenheim and @tdipaola.

It follows his rigorous training regime as he prepares for one of Japan’s six major sumo tournaments. The duo tell us how The Sumo Association’s press restrictions forced them to find creative ways to tell Danylo’s extraordinary story.

this isn’t a sumo conga line - it’s actually a fundamental training exercise called mukade-suriashi (ムカデすり足), where rikishi (wrestlers) develop balance, stability and leg strength together by hunkering low and sliding their feet across the ground.

mukade means centipede… so yes, technically, this is a human centipede…

more coming soon… 🤫

This year’s #wildfires in Europe have displaced more than a quarter million people. These aren’t warning signs anymore. The continent is a clean energy leader, but can an antiquated grid keep up?

New work for @financial times & @edp.global 🌎

We headed to #Hawaiʻi with Letitia Wright and @prada Sea Beyonder and @natgeo Explorer, Titouan Bernicot, to learn about the loko iʻa - ancient Hawaiian aquaculture systems that are making a comeback and even providing a sustainable model for aquaculture fisheries around the world. And to meet the Blue Schools students that Prada is supporting through their Sea Beyond ocean literacy programme to become future ocean stewards.
