Take a seat by the fire and listen up as Earth Ranger Emma tells the story of how one of the arctic’s most skilled bush pilots once got stranded in a December snow storm and got rescued by someone very unexpected.
Hey Earth Rangers! I hope you had a great end-of-year break. We have an awesome Arctic story to tell. In this episode, Emma will share the tale of a scientist she met during one of her first trips up north!
Old Edmund is a researcher with over ten years of amazing adventures in the arctic. One December, his ski plane got stuck in a big snowstorm while he was trying to fly home for Christmas. Wanna know what happened next? Listen to find out about the mistakes he made and what saved him in the end!
Emma got to have a close look at the ski plane Edmund used. It’s a special kind of plane with skis at the bottom, allowing it to glide across the snow. The plane is designed to slow down and stop on its own when landing. The downside? It can be easily pushed! During strong winds or storms, you have to tie the plane down, or it might slide away in the snow, leaving you behind.
Deer are pretty smart! When they feel a storm is on the way, they look for shelter to stay safe. In a snowstorm, they look for protection near trees, thickets, or bushes. Finding shelter out in the open? That’s harder. Sometimes, you might see them hiding on the sides of hills to avoid the wind and snow. Or… a person and a plane!
Reindeer are full of surprises! Here’s a festive fact to wrap up the year: Did you know, that all of Santa’s reindeer are ladies? Yes! Normally, male reindeer lose their antlers in the fall. By Christmas, the only ones left with antlers are the girls, who lose theirs in spring.
What did you think about Edmund’s adventure? Do you have any fun holiday ventures of your own?

We need your help! This animal is trying to tell us something but we can’t figure it out! Do you know what this heron is thinking?
When there are no flowers or fresh cut grass swirling around outside, coming home to a burst of cozy scents can be a real treat in the middle of the winter. Why not make your own at-home scents?
Gather all your ingredients! You can pick any from the list, or come up with some of your own.
Put your ingredients into a heat-proof bowl (or a pot or mason jar) and fill it halfway with water.
Place this in a warm place (safely away from any pets or clumsy family members).
Somewhere like the top of a radiator, over part of a heating vent, or on the stove on the lowest setting if you’re using a pot.
Sit back and enjoy the woody winter scents that fill your home!
