Iceland & East Greenland — Under the Northern Lights

Eleven days aboard the Douglas Mawson, from Reykjavík into the largest fjord system on earth. Scoresby Sund, where icebergs the size of small cities drift against autumn tundra. Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord. The Inuit village of Ittoqqortoormiit, the northernmost permanent settlement in the region. Musk oxen, arctic hare, and the aurora overhead, far from any light pollution.

A slightly unreasonable question.

In 2016, Chesney Castleberry and Craig Stevens stood in South Africa in the aftermath of a rhino poaching. They were tourists. What stayed with them was not only the animal — it was the rangers, the guides, the families whose living depended on wildlife that was being erased around them.

Fewer than 27,000 rhinos remain on earth. They came home and asked what two people in the Texas Hill Country could actually do about it. The answer turned out to be a vineyard, a rhino named Blake, and a room full of people willing to believe that wine and wildlife belong in the same sentence.

At the end of 2025 they formalized what that community had already built and launched the Rhinory Foundation — a 501(c)(3) whose only job is to move money to the frontlines quickly and cleanly. This is the Foundation’s night.
