An article in 'The Guardian' explores the recent surge in visitors to Greenland following the creation of new air routes into the country by the national carrier. It's another example of potential impacts of tourism. There are differing views on the impacts of tourism, in a place which has never had large numbers of people arriving.

Modern humans carry a genetic record that connects us to ancient populations like Neanderthals and Denisovans. A new study, led by Luca Pagani and colleagues and published on the preprint server bioRxiv 1 , dives deeply into the genetic transitions that sculpted Homo sapiens. The research challenges long-standing assumptions about when and how key genomic features emerged, suggesting that many hallmarks of modern humans originated before our lineage split from archaic relatives.

A cross-posting from my rather excellent Fieldnotes from Iceland blog. If you are going to Iceland with a school group (hopefully with Rayburn Tours) feel free to check out the blog in advance of your trip. For the Icelandic Review , the word of the year is Hraunkling , which means "lava cooling". This was used in 1973 of course when Eldfell erupted, but also became important to save the Blue Lagoon and Svartsengi plant from eruptions in November-December.

Writing is a hypnotic act. - Gabriel Garcia Marquez As it's the first week of the Christmas holidays, I've been diving into a series I've been anticipating for a while. I've also been re-reading some of the reviews and the genesis of this adaptation of a book that Garcia-Marquez himself felt was unadaptable. He said that any film of the book would need to be a hundred years long to do it justice.
