So this week were venturing deep into the arctic circle and investigating the stories of the 'Little People', specifically the Arctic Pygmies. We then follow the trail out of the snow and ice and into the mountains where stories of these fae-like beings are still told. We look at whether the vikings battled these pygmies when they landed on the eastern shores 1000 years ago; we look at stories told by high arctic explorers as well as stories told by prospectors and adventures within the Brooks and Mackenzie mountains. We also connect some dots and uncover something at the end that opens the door to way more questions!  </p>","author_name":"Nick Willard"}
