Hey there team! I was just wondering if you all have found any signs of humans ever living in these areas before? Are there any sorts of land structures other than ice that humans could have possibly lived here before? Thanks for your help and best of luck on your journey!

HI Elizabeth,
Thanks for your question and for following our expedition!
There are a few controversial archeaological sites around our area where ownership is debated - Russian or Norwegian, but other than that, no structures have been seen up here by our team. Our focus is on the climate, glacial, stream, lake systems, and not evidence of past civilizations. Therefore we may be walking past some artifacts from past civilizations and not even know it!
 
Thanks again!
