Tall ship sailing in the Caribbean: a sustainable alternative to mega cruises

1 week ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Robin Esrock

Unless you know a billionaire, getting anywhere near the mega yachts that flock to the British Virgin Islands each spring is a long shot, let alone stepping aboard one. It’s a topic that comes up repeatedly among the passengers of the SPV Star Flyer, a striking, 16-sail clipper ship designed for speed rather than cargo. With its four towering masts, polished teak trims, and enormous white sails, the Star Flyer turns heads across the Caribbean.

Beavers and the art of ecological resilience How beaver engineering results in biodiverse and climate-resilient landscapes The largest beaver dam on record was 775 metres long, located in Wood Buffalo National Park, Alta.

To slow the flow.
Steps towards tomorrow: a solo hike along Japan’s Tōhoku Region

2 weeks ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Madigan Cotterill

By the time I had finished walking through the sprightly streets of Fudai, I was stuffed. I knew Japan was world-renowned for its cuisine, but the dishes I consumed in this small village on Honshu Island’s northeast coast were, by far, some of the most mouthwatering meals I have ever had. “Oishii,” I say to Hidenobu Nakamura, a local shopkeeper who has generously gifted me a red bean taiyaki after I wander into his pastry shop.

Face to face with a century-old giant

3 weeks ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Madigan Cotterill

“Tortoise on the right!” Our naturalist guide Dennis Ballesteros shouts from the front of the van. I’m sitting on the edge of my seat, camera held high, ready to capture the giant. “He looks young, maybe 40 or 50 years old,” says Ballesteros. I look out the window, and sure enough, the rock-like animal is sitting just off the side of the road, partially hidden under a vibrant hibiscus bush.
Planting trees will save us, and other climate myths

3 weeks ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Alexandra Pope

Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting. That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a multinational group of climate scientists, including Andrew Weaver, a professor in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria and former leader of the B.C. Green Party.

The rare native plants of Newfoundland’s barrens

1 month ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Madigan Cotterill

It’s a wonder any life can thrive here on the grey swath of windswept stones near Sandy Cove, northwestern Newfoundland. And yet, shooting up between cracks and crevices are three endemic plants found nowhere else on Earth: Long’s braya, barrens willow and Fernald’s braya. Their hardiness, says plant ecologist Luise Hermanutz, is that of “a true Newfoundlander.” Map: Chris Brackley/Can Geo.

Travel Writer Robin Esrock reports on a bucket list family adventure in Cairo, Egypt and down the Nile Apr 10, 2025 2,001 words 9 minutes Observing the preserved remains of a young man who died 3300 years ago is a rather strange thing to do. Even more so when you’re in an underground desert burial chamber, lined with hieroglyphics and colourful illustrations so crisp they look like they were painted no less than a decade ago.

“First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples have a great heart. However, our spirit has been battered and bruised because the cradle of our spirit is in our languages. It is imperative we breathe life back into our languages.”—Ronald E. Ignace, commissioner, Office of the Commissioner of Indigenous LanguagesIndigenous languages must not only be revitalized — they must be championed. These languages hold diverse worldviews and connect generations.
