Climbing above Thailand's Beautiful Waters

2/24/2016

The morning sun dances off the glassy ripples lapping against my kayak. I dip a sampling bottle under the crystalline surface one, two, three times, the displaced bubbles rising as I rinse it with seawater. I gaze at the vibrant reef meters below through the turquoise waters of Thailand’s Andaman Sea.

Tightening the cap, I look around. A hundred yards to the west, a white sand beach is framed by the towering limestone cliffs of Koh Lao Liang Nong, or “Little Brother Island.” Across the blue expanse to the east, the 3,500-foot peaks of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Range rise above the coast.

Giving Back to the Gallatin

2/17/2016

 
Do you have a favorite river? Rivers offer an escape from the daily grind -- a place to swim, boat, fish, and unwind as they flow downstream.  In Southwest Montana, a group of outdoor enthusiasts are giving back to one of their local rivers through the ASC Gallatin Microplastics Initiative. Photographer Louise Johns captured some of these volunteers sampling for microplastics in the heart of winter.
Give back on your next adventure

I like to tell people about the issue of microplastics. 

​So as I sat with friends at a Brazilian Churrascaria steakhouse overlooking Sugarloaf Mountain as the sun cast it final rays across Rio de Janeiro, chronicling our latest sailing exploits, I dove in.

Cycling across Roadkill Nation: Maine to Oregon

2/3/2016

 
By: Erin and Will Ellagood
ASC Roadkill Adventurers

We got a lot stares riding across the country – which could have had something to do with the trailer and tandem bicycle. It was a monster to maneuver on foot, but it was a breeze to ride.
Riding a tandem bike across the country documenting roadkill for Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, definitely shifted our perspective pretty quickly. We were constantly in a place of vulnerability as drivers sped past, often with no more than a foot of breathing room. This feeling was only amplified by the mournful camaraderie developed with the roadkill we encountered.
