On most days of the year in the early 1900s, Battle Harbour, on Labrador’s rugged coast, is pretty quiet. The busiest this cod-fishing station gets is when a big catch of fish comes in, and the air buzzes with excitement and activity as the haul is brought ashore.
But in September 1909, a buzz of a different kind fills the salty air. The tiny village, population 300, finds itself at the center of a media frenzy it hasn t seen before or since.
Against a backdrop of fishing boats bobbing expectantly in the harbor, dozens of reporters wearing hats and long, thick coats to guard against the chill have descended on the wooden dock, waiting for a press conference with Robert E.

Tony Evers unveiled a $91 billion state budget Tuesday that proposes sweeping investments to address Wisconsin’s most significant environmental challenges and conservation goals, including climate change and the protection of public lands.
The spending plan for the next two years includes ambitious efforts to reduce climate change impacts, reauthorizes the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, addresses PFAS contamination and brings back a proposal to replace lead service lines among other measures. But many of the Democratic governor’s proposals are likely to be scaled back or outright rejected by the Republican-controlled Legislature.

It’s summer, 1895, in the northernmost reaches of Greenland. The temperature hovers around freezing. American explorer Robert E. Peary and his assistant Matthew Henson are on a backbreaking journey by dogsled across the ice cap, from Independence Bay, a large fjord on Greenland’s northeastern corner, to their base camp at Bowdoin Bay on the west coast. They’re nearly out of food, and they’re desperately searching for a herd of musk ox to stave off their deaths by starvation.
