Arktouros – Yukon and Northern Territories
From the ancient Greek ἄρκτος (bear) and οὖρος (guardian), Arcturos or Arcturus is the brightest star in the northern Boötes constellation and one of the brightest in the northern hemisphere. A bright star with a red-gold/orange hue, it owes its name to its proximity and mythological connection with the constellations of the Great Bear (Ursa Major) and the Little Bear (Ursa Minor). The Arktouros Project is all about venturing into the heart of the distant and inaccessible lands of Alaska, observing exceptional fauna and flora, raising awareness among as many people as possible about the importance of its preservation, but also reconnecting with ourselves and the world around us.
