Aaron Teasdale is a writer and photographer from Missoula, Montana, who can typically be found roaming the planet’s wild and endangered corners with pen and camera in hand. He’s been surrounded by wolves in Montana, charged by bears in the Yukon, chased by spear-wielding tribesmen in the Serengeti, barely escaped stone-throwing mobs in Bolivia, somehow piloted a three-person mountain bike with his two sons from Glacier to Banff for six weeks, and is basically just happy to still be here. You can see more of his award-winning work in magazines and websites like Sierra, Mountain, National Geographic Adventure, Adventure Cyclist, and his blog, which he sometimes even updates.
