I’ve got to hand it to these guys. Only a surfer would consider turning a melting glacier into a playground. But after all, isn’t that what the planet should be?For instance, an Inuit microbrewery on one of the planet’s iciest spots has turned melting glaciers into pure refreshment: beer.

But the sea turtle trip was incredible, especially with a stop in […]
