Last week’s column focused on the Arctic Frontiers conference being held in Tromso, Norway.

Deutsche Welle journalist and blogger Irene Quaile was covering the conference and we were lucky enough to reach her in Tromso for a feature interview.

We talked about about everything from what the political leaders said to some of the lingering questions that remain about Arctic development.

You can listen to our conversation, here.

And if you missed some of the coverage last week, you can check out Irene’s blogs from the conference, here.
