Melville Peninsula
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Helicopter landing at Arctic geology exploration base camp - Melville Peninsula, Nunavut
While doing some helicopter geology work on the Melville Peninsula above the Actic Circle in Nunavut, Canada, I had the amazing opportunity to be up in the air flying in helicopters usually a couple times a day. Our camp was supported by a Bell 407HP and a Bell 206 LongRanger.
Here we approach our base camp beside a few lakes in the middle of tundra nowhere and come in for a landing by the fuel dump. Our main operation was collecting diamond drill core from the arctic diamond drilling operation.

The boat picked us up at Qaarsut and took us to one of the peninsulas in the end of Uummannaq fjord, 600 km north of the Arctic Circle.
It took us 15 days days to get to Ikerasak and another two weeks from the north shore of Nugssuaq Peninsula to Disko Bay.

Arctic diamond drill, flight to remote helicopter geology camp, Nunavut
Ever wonder what does a geologist do? What is geology field work like? What does an Actic diamond drilling operation look like?
During the summer of 2011 I had the amazing opportunity to work at a remote mining exploration geology camp located on the Melville Peninsula, Nunavut above the Arctic Circle. Our main operation there was collecting diamond drilling core to better map a large banded iron formation. Here I'm flying from a daily down-hole survey job at the diamond drill back to our heli-camp over the tundra in the middle of nowhere!

SUMMARY
=======
Melville Peninsula is a large peninsula in the Canadian Arctic north of Hudson Bay. To the east is Foxe Basin and to the west the Gulf of Boothia. To the north the Fury and Hecla Strait separates it from Baffin Island. To the south Repulse Bay and Frozen Strait separate it from Southampton Island at the north end of Hudson Bay. On the southwest it is connected to the mainland by the "Rae Isthmus" named after arctic explorer Dr John Rae.
Between 1821 and 1823 its east side was mapped by William Edward Parry. Since 1999, it has been part of Nunavut. Before that, it was part of the District of Franklin. Most of the peninsula lies in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region, while its southwesternmost section, around Repulse Bay, lies in the Kivalliq Region. Communities on the peninsula include the hamlets of Repulse Bay and Hall Beach. The hamlet of Igloolik is located on an island lying just off the northeastern coast of the peninsula.

10. Star Mountains, Papua New Guinea
The Star Mountains, in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, is a virtually undisturbed region of the country. Due to the difficulty of traveling in the area, it wasn’t until recently that researchers were able to start detailed explorations to learn more about the wildlife that lives there.
9. Northern Forest Complex, Myanmar
Between 1962 and 2011, Myanmar, which was formerly known as Burma, was under the rule of an oppressive military junta. Among reports of gross human rights violations, and the suppression of voices that spoke out against the leaders, the country was subject to international condemnation and sanctions.
8. Cape Melville, Australia
Despite being an advanced country, there’s a region in Australia that’s often referred to as ‘the lost world’. Due to its unique geography, the Cape Melville mountain range has remained largely unexplored, and it was only in recent years that researchers learned how much there was to discover here.
7. Northern Patagonia, Chile
Northern Patagonia is the most sparsely populated region of the country and remains largely unexplored because of the difficulty in accessing the area. The ice field, full of glaciers and fjords, is one of the largest masses of ice in the world outside of the poles and has only been accessible by road since the 1980s.
6. Mount Namuli, Mozambique
Mozambique is a country that's struggled with a civil war which, along with the difficulties in accessing some regions, have left its second highest mountain, Mount Namuli, one of the last mountains Africa to remain virtually unexplored.
5. Vale Do Javari, Brazil
The Amazon rainforest is well known for its dense undergrowth and wealth of wildlife, but most of it still remains largely unexplored. One region, in particular, is particularly difficult to reach… Vale Do Javari in Brazil.
4. Kamchatka, Russia
Known locally as the ‘land of Volcanoes’, the Kamchatka peninsula is on the extreme eastern edge of Russia. The region is covered with volcanoes and geysers, glaciers and mountains… and has been visited by very few outsiders. In fact, until 1990, it was closed to all foreigners, and Russians needed a special permit to be able to enter.
3. New Hebrides Trench, Pacific Ocean
Deep-sea trenches are notoriously difficult to explore. While the Mariana trench in the western Pacific has drawn attention because it's the deepest known one, the least explored is the New Hebrides Trench, which is on the edge of the Coral Sea between the islands of Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
2. Greenland
In a world where satellites orbit and image the surface daily, it’s very rare that a new island is found. That’s exactly what happened in Greenland, though, in 2005, when receding ice revealed a new land mass. Resembling a bony claw, this island off the coast of the country has long evaded cartographers and had been thought to be a mountaintop emerging above an ice cap.
1. North Sentinel Island, India
North Sentinel Island is a part of the Andaman archipelago in the Bay of Bengal in India and is completely off-limits to outsiders. The reason for this is because the island is home to the Sentinelese, one of the last uncontacted tribes to remain unaffected by modern civilization, and a group of people who have consistently rejected contact with the outside world.

Ever wonder what does a geologist do? What is geology field work like? What does an Actic diamond drilling operation look like?
During the summer of 2011 I had the amazing opportunity to work at a remote mining exploration geology camp located on the Melville Peninsula, Nunavut above the Arctic Circle. Our main operation there was collecting diamond drilling core to better map a large banded iron formation. Here I'm flying from a daily down-hole survey job at the diamond drill back to our heli-camp over the tundra in the middle of nowhere!
