Abstract

PHOTOGRAPHS BY JEFF SHEA NO 002 We are standing in an empty corner of the Reykjavík airport -- an architect, a math teacher, a retired Chicago lawyer, a businessman, and a reporter, all mountain climbers and river runners and adventurers of one sort or another. [Photograph]: Stray Dog West, the island discovered and explored by the expedition, is the most substantial new island to emerge during the dramatic melting of the ice that has taken place off the coast of Greenland in the last decade.
