Woodland's Ambassador, Malaika Vaz, at the Arctic


Here is a brilliant precursor to the journey that lies ahead of her on this expedition.



As part of our expedition Malaika hiked through a rocky terrain, Crystal 2, observing many mosses, lichens, berries and even the world's smallest trees through a magnifying lens, completely amazed and mesmerized by the spectacular colours all around.

At the Arctic, the sight of a massive polar bear walking up a glacier in the morning can wake you up like no coffee possibly can!

According to Malaika, one of her most favorite moments was talking to some of the elders of the community who imparted some of their wisdom and wished good luck for the journey.

Malaika & Woodland believe that by visiting the communities and learning about their heritage we can understand the spirit of the Arctic and the future that lies ahead for its people.
