This week, Arctic Explorer; John Dunn from the UK, came to present his expeditions throughout the Canadian Arctic Territories. 

He shared about the many challenges he faced during his many life- changing explorations that deeply changed the way he saw things around the world. Some of these blocks he had encountered were nearly meters from making sight with deadly, Arctic polar bears. John had even shared the one time he fell through thin ice, landing in freezing, cold water. He came across these events prepared for weeks fulfilling all of the many possibilities himself, and his travel buddy could have experienced. 

Though, on the upside of his adventures, he got to observe many breathtaking views, featuring watching vivid sunsets aboard the tops of the mountain tops that sit above the clouds. John would also enjoy watching the midnight moon crawl across the reflection of the tall glaciers. He often would spend his time taking incredible photographs, dreaming that he could share about his incredible experience with people like us someday, which in the past few years has come true.

In the future, we will be glad to support John Dunn and his many more incredible projects he has planned out in the Northern pieces of Canada. While he shared the many ups and downs and yet unforgettable bits and pieces of his experience, he came together to motivate many students in a way to achieve their future goals and reach their potential in life, no matter what you want for yourself and where you came from.
