    Not Our War: Namib-Naukluft National Park

    Henno Martin and Hermann Korn were two German-born geologists conducting research in present-day Namibia when World War II broke out. Instead of facing internment or being forced into a war they did not believe in, these two friends loaded up a truck with their dog Otto and some basic survival supplies and set out to escape the war by surviving off the land in the harsh Namib desert.

    Adventure, Death & A Mother’s Day Tradition: Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument

    Every Mother’s Day, hundreds of climbers hike up Mount St. Helens wearing bright and elaborate dresses, a tradition that’s fun and easy to laugh at. However, behind this celebration is the story of Kathy Phibbs, a bold climber who helped create space for women in the mountains. When a winter climb on Washington’s Dragontail Peak goes wrong, a legacy that’s as inspiring as it is heartbreaking is left behind, and a tradition that celebrates the strength of women is carried forward.

    The Mountain That Moves: The Frank Slide Disaster

    In April of 1903, Turtle Mountain fell. Long known by indigenous nations to be dangerous, the town of Frank built at its base and mined into its sides nonetheless. In the early morning hours of April 29th, 100 million tons of rock broke free and hurdled down the mountain, killing 70 people and burying much of the town in nearly 100 feet of debris. It was over in less than 90 seconds, but has remained Canada’s deadliest rockslide.

    Saved by a Hunter, Betrayed by Science: The Florida Everglades Panther Story.

    By the 1970s, the Florida panther was nearly extinct, with fewer than 30 left in the wild. As scientists raced to save the species, one of the most influential biologists in the field dismissed critical evidence and nearly pushed the panther closer to extinction, while an unlikely figure stepped in to change everything: a hunter. What followed was one of the strangest and most controversial conservation efforts in U.S. history, one that shouldn’t have worked… but did.

    The Incarcerated Women Fighting California’s Fires: Santa Monica National Recreation Area

    Across California, incarcerated women are sent to the frontlines of wildfires, risking their lives for a chance at reduced sentences and a small paycheck. On Malibu 13-3, an all-women fire crew, the work was brutal, the stakes were high, and the bond between crew members ran deep.
