In 1988, Silvo Karo @silvokaro and the late Janez Jeglic, did the first ascent of the South Face of Cerro Torre, a 1200 meter climb that still today is one of the hardest in the area, and has yet to be repeated. . Read all about this climb, and the peak years of Slovene alpinism in Silvo’s memoir, recently published in English. You can order it from Silvo’s website www.silvokaro.com - link in our profile.

Video by @bertiegregory / A wild grey wolf approaches us on the west coast of the Hudson Bay, Canada. This wolf belongs to a pack that takes on polar bears. They’re the only pack in the world known to do this. This pack was bold, but whenever they came over to investigate us, we felt zero aggression—just curiosity. After stopping a few feet away, it gave us a quick sniff and then went on about its day. Follow @bertiegregory for more wildlife adventures. #wildlife #animals #wolves #wolf #snow

The Trump administration recently finalized plans to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development. This means that the government can now auction off leases to companies who want to drill on the Refuge’s Coastal Plain. Not only is the Coastal Plain sacred land to the Gwich’in Nation, it also encompasses 19.3 million acres of one of the last healthy Arctic ecosystems on earth—home to calving porcupine caribou and polar bear dens, where musk ox, grizzly bear, wolves and migrating birds from all 50 states live and thrive. But Trump also admitted that this may or may not happen. Could it be that they leaving an opening in case there is a big public outcry? The recent passage of the Great American Outdoors act and the cancelation of oil and gas leases around Moab have shown that the will of the people can make a difference, at least for now when there is an election looming. The majority of Americans want these places to remain protected. On the other side are the top 5 oil companies alone spending more that 200 million a year on lobbying. If we want to win this battle, we must make more noise than big oil. If we want to win the war, we must elect officials, and a president that understand renewables will win the race and destroying our last remaining wild and sacred places is not worth it. So, my ask is this. Make a solid plan to vote. Help your friends and family make a plan to vote. Spreads the word that social justice, wilderness and the environment are top voting priorities.

What do you love to do??..

Valerie is one of our beloved volunteers in Nøsen who came with an open mind and heart towards traditional Ashtanga Yoga practice. We love having her smile and energy in the Vedanta chanting class with Alexander Medin for staffs and volunteers early in the morning or Mysore practice right afterwards. Her approach to adapt to the demanding sequence kept reminding us about the old saying of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois: “Anyone can practice. Young man can practice. Old man can practice. Very old man can practice. Man who is sick, he can practice. Man who doesn’t have strength can practice. Except lazy people; lazy people can’t practice yoga.” #chooseyourlimit #yogaisforeveryone #nosenyoga #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #norwayyoga #yogalifestyle
