Coming up this weekend - In 1881, Lieutenant Adolphus W. Greely (pictured here) and 24 of his men set out to explore the northernmost polar Arctic. But when no ship returned to their camp with fresh supplies and food two years in a row, the men - abandoned and starving - had no other option but to head south to find help. In the end only five survivors returned back to the U.S. Check out the adventure featuring author @buddy.levy this Sunday on your local radio station, viewpointsradio.org or wherever you get your podcasts. ▪️ Photo credit: national archives no. 148727592. ▪️ #greelyexpedition #buddylevy #history #1881 #arcticexplorer #arcticexploration #adolphusgreely #arcticvoyage #historychannel #historyiscool #historyfacts #americanhistory #historynerd #viewpointsradio #signalcorps #army #navy #rescue

We've been setting a lot of 2020 goals @viewpointsradio this week. It can be easy to lose sight of what you want to achieve in a set time so write it down, set concrete timelines and don't forget to reward yourself along the way for the little wins! 🍦🍰🧁 One of our goals for Q1 of 2020 is launching a more modern, streamlined website interface for Viewpoints. ✔️✔️ #newyearsgoals #newyearresolutions #2020goals #2020 #newyear #newyearresolution #goals #visionboard #vision #coffee #creative #creativecareers #writingcommunity #writinglife #womeninjournalism #viewpointsradio #newyearnewme #professional #justdoit

This week - We spoke with history expert and University of Illinois professor, Craig Koslofsky about the origins of tattooing, branding and scarification. Many early European settlers returned from Jerusalem in the 16th century with intricate religious tattoos like a Jerusalem cross. Those doing the tattoo would "sanitize" the area with wine and get to work, manually breaking the skin with a needle or other sharp object. Check out viewpointsradio.org or Viewpoints Radio wherever you listen to podcasts for the full story! Picture 1: Portrait of Heinrich Wilhelm Ludolf of Halle. The Jerusalem tattoo on his forearm dates back to 1699. Picture 2: Forearm of Ratge Stubbe of Hamburg. Jerusalem pilgrimage tattoos pictured here date back to 1669. Picture published 1676. Picture 3: Amerindian with chest tattoos dating back to 1664. 📷 Pictures courtesy of Craig Koslofsky. #skin #tattooorigins #earlytattoos #tattoos #tattoo #culture #europeansettlers #pilgrimage #jerusalem #history #art #earlyart #earlyworld #historyiscool #branding #scarificationdesigns #scarification #pilgrim #explorer #skindesigntattoos #skindesign

We do a lot of writing each week @viewpointsradio. Whether you're a writer or not, take some time this week to jot down some reflections of the past year and some goals for 2020. Maybe your favorite memories from 2019? Biggest accomplishments? 2020 bucketlist? Viewpoints producer @amirahzaveri says one of her favorite memories is climbing through the foothills of Croatia this year with friends and eating a hot cinnamon chimney cone from a street peddler in Budapest. #2019inreview #2020 #2020goals #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #reflectingonlife #memoriesof2019 #womeninjournalism #writinglife #viewpointsradio #writers #journaling #retrospection #lookingback #newyearsgoals #newyearresolution
