GRATITUDE & GRACE
“I felt like I could handle anything in that moment. I was smiling so big my face hurt. I felt like laughing. I felt grace.”
In May, Tusker coordinator Mariya Porten climbed Kilimanjaro with her father, Steve Porten. The climb affected Mariya in ways she never could have imagined, and will never forget.
YOU LIE!
Poll any population on a prison yard and you’ll find nothing but innocent men. How can no one there be guilty of a crime?
The answer lies … in a lie.
GLACIERS PASSED
Leading glaciologists have declared that glaciers and ice fields are receding at an alarming rate, and for the most part, their findings are correct.
MONGOLIA’S ALTAI MOUNTAINS
Considered to be one of the last true wilderness areas on Earth, Mongolia’s Altai Sayan Ecoregion touches the edges of Kazakstain and China. A region of unparalleled beauty, the Altai is also an archaeological treasure-box. Exquisite petroglyphs remain virtually undiscovered and provide a stunning pictorial record of prehistory.
In 2012, Tusker Trail led an archaeology & photography workshop through the untamed Altai region that is unlike any trip on Earth.
A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING
