RESEARCH REQUEST | Seeking an expert in light and human biology in extreme northern climates Howdy y’all. I’m on the hunt for someone who has researched the effects of prolonged darkness and near-constant daylight on human biology, particularly in Northern Europe. The angle I’m exploring is what actually happens to human health in these environments. What trends or anomalies do we see when we simply live with these extreme natural conditions, versus when we intervene with specific lighting strategies? Ultimately, I want to understand what these places can teach us about what our biology really expects from light. If anyone knows someone working in this field, I’d love an introduction! Thank you! 🙏
Artist looking for advice: How to legally access glacier caves in Iceland for a documentary project? Hi everyone, I am a visual artist based in Poland currently working on a long-term project documenting glacial, karst, and ice caves. I have had the opportunity to photograph restricted ice caves in Poland (with researcher access), but now I am planning a multi-day expedition to Iceland to document a glacier caves. I understand that entering these caves is dangerous, highly regulated, and often restricted to researchers or licensed guides. I am not looking for a standard tourist tour, but rather advice on how to arrange alegal and safeaccess for an artistic documentation project. Specifically, I am looking for: Recommendations onlicensed guiding companiesthat might be open to collaborating with an artist on a non-commercial project. Contact details forlocal researchersor organizations (e.g., Vatnajökull National Park, University of Iceland) who might offer guidance or permits. Any personal experiences from the community regarding how to approach these requests. I am aware of the risks and am committed to following all safety protocols. My budget is limited, so I am looking for the most direct and honest advice on where to start. Has anyone here been in a similar situation or knows who to contact? Any leads would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!
