This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

DK, Greenland, On Way From Station Nord To Bliss Bugt, 2007, IMG_3267R - Before I went to Peary Land, in the north of Greenland, Dennis Schmitt told me that the scenery was otherworldly. This is particularly visible from the sky. From the ground it is not always clear what is a snow drift and what is frozen ocean.
