It started as a glacier. Then, about 13,000 years ago, it was a trickle, then a stream, and eventually a rushing river meandering through the Olympic Peninsula. For thousands of years, life thrived off the ecosystem served by the Elwha River that fed into the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Then it stopped. I hope you join me in this week’s episode of @thewildpod as we learn the extent of a river’s patience, and the incredible story of nature’s resilience, and the wonder of what’s possible when we set back the clock on a damaged ecosystem. 🐟🎧

For this first episode I am in the remote Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, I had returned this summer in search for what it is most famous for, polar bears, walruses and migratory birds. It has been 13 years since I've last visited the islands, which had left me excited, yet apprehensive, about what I might encounter. Join me in this Season 2 opening episode of @thewildpod as we explore how this fragile arctic ecosystem works and the future of this land of ice. 🏔️ ° 📸 @brendaphillipsphotos ° ➡️Make sure to go to your platform of choice and subscribe, or visit the new 'THE WILD' with Chris Morgan' website link in my profile bio! 🐻🎧

Wow! just look at these amazing illustrations that were done by @michelleschneiderart . Michelle had reached out to me to share the story behind these wonderful paintings: • "I submitted to the @scbwi Narrative Art Award and wanted to explain my submission a bit more now that I’ve caught up on sleep and am a little more clear-headed! 💆🏻‍♀️ I’ve submitted every year for the past two years (this being my third) because I love the prompts and requirement that you must submit THREE sequential illustrations as opposed to just one which most art contests require. It pushes me to think more in terms of an overall narrative, big picture, rather than a single image. This year’s prompt was to illustrate a ground-breaking journey whether historical, personal, or imagined. The artwork I chose to create is suited for a children’s picture book ages 4-7. I made a list of historical and imaginary ground-breaking journeys including the moon landing, the first train to travel through the national parks, the first underwater science lab, a mouse’s journey to Paris (😂) and lots of other things! But nothing felt right so I just continued to research until I came to conclusion that perhaps I would never actually decide. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But then it occurred to me that the thing I’d love to illustrate was the story I’d been watching over and over again for months- that being the story of Chris Morgan traveling into the heart of bear country (ALASKA!). (See last image of the kids watching his documentary with me in the studio.) So I spent another week doing more research (I get so lost in research. It’s an actual problem I have.) and then decided on an image I’d seen like this one in the documentary “Grizzlies of Alaska.” I actually did two other aerial view illustrations like this one but didn’t feel that they were as strong. To recap, it took me a solid month to get this first image nailed down which left only a few weeks to get the next two done. 👍 I’ll share more about the next two images soon!"
Exciting news guys! As some of you might know the team over at KUOW are hosting a season 2 Launch Celebration for my podcast, @thewildpod , at The Mountaineers in Seattle on Friday, February 28th! The event space sold out rather quickly, so we have increased the space due to high demand so there is now a second chance to grab your ticket! I hope you can join me to enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this next season’s upcoming episodes. I will be sitting down with KUOW’s Deborah Wang to discuss the amazing animals and ecosystems that we will be exploring in season two, as well as diving into a deeper understanding of my research and work in the wild. There will also be a Q & A towards the end of the event for me to answer any questions you may have about animals and the conservation of wild spaces. For those of you who missed out on our last event, make sure to secure your spots and get your tickets now before it sells out again! You can find the link to tickets for this event in my profile bio. Hope you can make it out! 📸 @kuow photographer @_meganfarmer • 📸 @brendaphillipsphotos / Polar bear Photo
