Raspberry Rising Expedition

In the depths of Mount Tupper in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, lies a little-explored cave system. Over the next two years, this mega-team of nine adventurers will do what it takes, from cave diving to climbing active waterfalls, to map it.

Follow the expedition into the Tupper cave system through the spring known as Raspberry Rising on YouTube or the Raspberry Rising website.

The Canadian Arctic Project: Into the Melting Ice

Nicolas Peissel is returning to the Arctic this summer after last year’s record-breaking sail through the Northwest Passage. This time, he and two other adventurers plan to take their sailboat through a never-before-accessible route between the Sverdrup Islands and the Canadian Archipelago and document the disappearing sea ice.
