Inspired by
the passionate people who call the Arctic home, who continue to return to one of the world’s
most unique and changing environments on our planet. The project-based film, Letters to the Arctic,
explores a complex collaborative narrative around our relationship to the Arctic and what’s at stake.
Filmed during
the Summer and Fall of 2020, Letters to Arctic took place on the MOSAiC Expedition. The
Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate is an epic year-long Arctic
climate research campaign to capture the annual cycle of the Central Arctic Climate System.
There, scientists from over thirty countries were able to participate in this project.
Building on
the many narratives which create the Arctic story, Letters to the Arctic invites anyone
to participate in this project. This project will be continuously evolving as we collect more
counter-stories of the Arctic and grow in our understanding of this fierce and fragile place.
Created by
Award-winning photographer and filmmaker Lianna Nixon
worked with countless experts from the MOSAiC Expedition.
