We're very happy to share that three of our maps received awards at the @bcsmaps.bsky.social Annual Conference last week! Our Alexander Island and Bedmap3 maps were recognised in the Printed Mapping category, and our Ice Logistics Portal (www.icelogistics.info) in the Electronic Mapping category 🏆🎉

Grateful for honoring me with this award! This map visualizes our personal footprint in the US. It is not a grand story or made to serve many, but it carries a message: maps are not only for experts or institutions; they can hold our own stories and memories.
