Haider Ackermann Was Immediately Seduced by the Silence of the Arctic Landscape

I was immediately seduced by the silence and the immense landscape. There's something beautiful about it: You feel like a very small person, you're made vulnerable, and you realize you don't mean that much in the world.

The Bayeux tapestry is so fragile that transporting it risks irreparable damage, French experts have said, as a petition urging Emmanuel Macron to reverse a catastrophic decision to loan the unique embroidery to Britain passed 60,000 signatures. France's president declared in July that the nearly 1,000-year-old, 70-metre-long wool-on-linen artwork, which depicts William the Conqueror's victory over King Harold II of England at Hastings in 1066, would cross the Channel next year.

The challenge of fishing in the Alta River is evident from the limited number of rods available, with less than a hundred existing and often passed down through generations, emphasizing the exclusivity and significance of this fishing experience.
