At Adventurous Ewe, we’ve always believed in creating adventures that go beyond the ordinary - journeys that take you away from the usual paths and immerse you in the raw beauty of the world. The King’s Trail Arctic Snowshoe Expedition is exactly that kind of experience. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a chance to strip life back to basics and rediscover the simple joys of living in harmony with nature and experience a proper digital detox. Snowshoeing from hut to hut through the untouched Arctic wilderness, you’ll chop wood to fuel the fire stoves, fetch fresh water from remote ice wells, and carry it back to the hut under your own steam. Every moment is a reminder of the strength within you and the beauty of pristine frozen landscapes. Even those moments you might initially dread - like stepping outside to the loo in the middle of the night - turn into unforgettable experiences. Beneath the dark Arctic skies, you’ll have the perfect chance to witness the Northern Lights, their ethereal glow transforming the freezing cold into something truly magical. This expedition is about so much more than snowshoeing. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, connecting with a pristine landscape, learning more about the Sami culture and discovering a way of life that feels both grounding and awe-inspiring. Here’s to pushing boundaries, embracing the unknown, and experiencing the incredible world beyond the usual paths. If you’re ready to swap the mundane for the magnificent, the King’s Trail is waiting for you. https://lnkd.in/e3xsFwMg #visitsweden #arcticadventures #digitaldetox #letsgo

https://lnkd.in/dQaFFMi9 Day 7 of the Oceano Azul Gorringe Expedition sees us heading back out to the seamount having taken cover from The weather after our 3rd day of scientific dives. The forecast looks set fair for the coming days and the diving and landers teams are keen to get back in the water. Below is an extract from the Oceano Azuls Expedition diary. Despite the strong currents, we have concluded 36 dives with very diverse biodiversity samples collected. The sea is a striking dark blue, offering divers exceptional visibility over long distances. Large schools of amberjacks were spotted approaching the divers in great numbers. Large schools of wrasses and Anthias were found. Marine forests of macroalgae and a large diversity of algal species show a very healthy ecosystem. The absence of invasive species, which prevail in the mainland and in the archipelagos, is also a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Gorringe is at the intersection of the north Atlantic, Mediterranean, North Africa and the island archipelagos and show a unique combination of marine fauna and flora. The most curious observation on the dives were dozens of torpedo rays observed among the marine flora, stacked one on top of the other, with an uncommon size. A total of 15 seabirds visual surveys were performed with at least 12 species identified. For marine mammals, 20 surveys were performed and bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins and spotted dolphins, as well as a baleen whale, turtles, a shark and a swordfish registered. Baited remote underwater videos (BRUVs) were deployed in 5 stations (5 BRUV systems per station) with a total of 50h of video. Turtles, pilot fish, spotted dolphins and mahi-mahi have been recorded.

Today, we celebrate World #SeaTurtleDay! 🐢🪸 🏝️💚 Through our Ancestral Tide initiative, we have partnered with the Comcáac, Guna-Yala, Emberá, Arhuaco and Kogui peoples. Each of these peoples, to varying degrees, has a relationship with #seaturtles, shaping #traditions, language and customs. This is often based on the biological patterns of the sea turtle species present in their territories, such as visits to feeding areas, movement routes, and behavior. 🐚🌴 The Ancestral Tides initiative is implemented in #coastal territories across Mesoamerica and on Colombia’s Carribean coast. From the Comcaac people’s coastal territory located on Mexico’s Pacific Sonora coast to the Linea Negra line of coastal sacred sites on Colombia’s Carribean coast, we work to conserve five sea turtle species that live on the #beaches of these peoples’ territories.    🐠 Follow us for updates on how the Ancestral Tides initiative is helping to conserve coastal ecosystems and sea turtles while strengthening associated cultural traditions. 📸: Juan Carlos Cruz, Jone Troconis  #traditionalknowledge #ocean #sea #turtles #endangeredseaturtles #hatchlings #babyturtle #mesoamerica #conservation #wildlife #coastalcommunities #territorialjustice #climatechange #oceanlife #oceanphotography #sealife

A Moment of Majesty in the Falkland Islands: As our vessel gently sliced through the cold, crisp waters of the Falkland Islands, we were graced with a spectacle that took our collective breath away. Emerging from the depths, a majestic Orca, in its striking black-and-white attire, gifted us with its presence. This encounter was not just a testament to the raw beauty of the natural world, but a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of all life. Orcas, often termed as 'killer whales,' are apex predators in marine ecosystems. In the waters surrounding the Falkland Islands, they roam with a unique blend of grace and power. These intelligent creatures are not just hunters but also highly social animals, known for their intricate family structures and complex communication. The sighting of an Orca in these parts is a reminder of the wild's untamed essence, thriving beneath the waves, a world away from our human concerns yet intimately connected to our actions and the health of our planet. This incredible encounter is a call to action. It reminds us of the importance of conserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats. As we continue on our journey, let's carry with us the responsibility to protect these wonders and ensure that future generations can also experience such breathtaking moments. Let this image be a beacon of inspiration, urging us to strive for a world where the harmony between humanity and nature isn't just an aspiration but a reality. Together, we can make a difference. #Conservation #Orca #FalklandIslands #Nature #Inspiration #esg Falkland Islands Government Vanguard Tech Seagull Maritime
