Kara Buchanan and her husband Nate slept inside a glacier in Svalbard. After nearly ten years of marriage to an adrenaline junkie, she hauled supplies on a sled, climbed in darkness, and crawled into an ice cave despite her fear of cold and dark. She appreciates how he pushes her beyond what she thought possible.
This is the story of how I ended up sleeping on the ground in an ice cave underneath a glacier. It all started by marrying my extreme adventure loving husband Nate almost 10 years ago. And this week when he learned that you can pack everything you need to survive on a sled, strap it to your back and climb over a glacier in the dark, then crawl down into an ice cave and sleep underneath sharp icicles, he had to do it. Which meant I had to do it with him because even though I hate being cold and dark, glacial caves really scare me. He has yet to lead me on an adventure that I've regretted saying yes to after a freezing night of trying to sleep. Morning. We successfully completed this challenge and I'm sure it won't be the last. Don't tell him, but I secretly love how much he pushes me outside of my comfort zone as long as it keeps bringing me coffee in bed. Love ya. See you tomorrow.
