Honorable Mention
A Tiny House in Greenland
DESCRIPTION
In the July of 2025, an unusually big iceberg drifted just behind the childhood home of my greenlandic co-worker. Although the greenlandic people are used to seeing icebergs, many of the local people would be impressed by this one and would take photos of the event. Personally, I sacrificed a nights worth of sleep to observe its movement with the hopes of it reaching the point just behind the house, which for one hour it did. Despite the fact they are visually stunning, the big ones do come with their risks. If this iceberg were to break or flip over, it could cause a small tsunami which at times do sink the boats of the local people.
AUTHOR
Dennis Lehtonen is an adventurer of the polar regions, living the nomadic lifestyle by moving to unusual locations frequently and living with strangers. Dennis has spent three years in the northernmost parts of Finland and two years in Greenland with plans to take the adventures to the remote parts of arctic Canada, Siberia and Alaska in the future. Dennis got into this type of lifestyle by accident when he first found out about the world of astronomy by watching a video of a man capturing Saturn from his backyard. Amazed by this, Dennis got into astrophotography which evolved into aurora photography. To capture the aurora, small places in the arctic are preferred due to ideal location and lack of light pollution.
