Presented by Kristina Disney
When you look at a map or ask a friend for directions, you're using a story created by someone else to take you somewhere you've never been. Expedition Leader Kristina Disney and anthropologist Liam Campbell revisit the 18th-century journals of explorer and naturalist Georg Steller, who meticulously recorded the wildlife he saw at sea and the stories shared with him by those he met on land. Discover how stories can help us reshape the way we understand our environment -- and each other. Plus, learn how a process called counter-cartography is being used to reclaim colonized territories for their Indigenous inhabitants.
