    What Deep Time can Teach us About Slow Travel

    What Deep Time can Teach us About Slow Travel

    Hi, I'm Utsav Mamoria and I'm back with another episode of Postcards from Nowhere after a brief hiatus. In this episode, we talk about how Greenland's ice sheets act as time capsules that give us glimpses not only of climate history, but also human history. And the concept of Deep Time, as a reminder for us to slow down and focus on a place's present and its people when we travel.
