Anacostia River, Washington, DC

You belong to no one, everyone, yet you exist in the shadows of politicians and history. You have a reputation of being forgotten. I stride past sweet honeysuckle, but traces of decay, drudgery, death, make me crinkle my nose and hasten my pace. Low tide unveils muddy banks hoarding plastic water bottles and old tires …

About Kristan Uhlenbrock

A science lover and outdoor explorer who is searching for life’s interesting people, places, and peculiarities under the sea and in the backcountry.

I work at US CLIVAR to understand the ocean’s role in climate while creating a cache of stories, photos, and adventures in my free time.

Yesterday. Today. We’ll get outside in just about anything. But skiing in 40 degree bluebird days really is tough. I really don’t know why we do it. Views are also terrible. Whereas in 10 degree snowstorms, you get to experience the excitement of not knowing where you’re going, which is why end up trying to ski uphill. Brilliant! .. #ski #skiing #pow #mountains #getoutside #nomatterwhat #aspen #toughitout #toughlife
I finally made it into my new home today! It’s been a hectic few months (year!) trying to make the move to Colorado as two professionals. I remember how easy it was in my 20s to jump ship whenever the wind blew. But now not so much. I’ll still not feel settled until Aaron makes it out here, but I can at least see that day on the horizon now. This move wouldn’t have been as easy if I didn’t have the support of so many amazing people in my life. A special thanks to @karenkormos and John for your amazing, generous hospitality—it would have been so much harder without you. 💛 #newhome #denver #colorado #nextchapter #cityview #lettheunpackingbegin
I don’t think I’ll ever get over the clouds and sky out here🧡 #clouds #bigskies #colorado #sunset #nature #nofilter

First time I’ve ever seen a rainbow at sunrise. I absolutely fell in love with the Gunnison area. #gunnison #colorado #sunrise #gunnytimes #winter #rainbow #breathofthewild #bigskies
Spectacular ice today! Even with the temps so low I was surprised our car registered it. Typically these temps make the ice brittle, but I found it not too delicate to climb. #iceclimbing #brrr #winter #climbing #freezing #ice #explore #nevertoocold #getoutside #idclimbthat #womenwhoclimb #lifeoutdoors
