At Qaanaaq, in Greenland, there's IS18: an infrasound station that's quietly listening for nuclear tests - or any other large bang. Here's what, why, and a few words the man who, for years, has been quietly keeping it running. Pull down this description for more!
I'm here because of Chris Hadfield's Generator Arctic - go check out everyone else who was on the trip, and have a look at tickets for their show at Massey Hall, Toronto, on November 12th! generatorevent.com
Thanks to all the team at Quark Expeditions - www.quarkexpedi... - who made it possible for us to get there, and whose crew and staff on board were just amazing!
Thanks to Elmo Keep - elmokeep.com - who not only held the camera for this, but who tracked down Svend Erik and got him to drive out to the station! There's a whole behind-the-scenes detective story there. She's also writing a detailed profile of Svend-Erik: follow her on Twitter to see it when it's published! / elmo_keep
