About
Geraldine
I love to travel to remote, untouched parts of our planet. Meeting different people, learning about new cultures, and immersing myself in unfamiliar environments has broadened my perspective and given me fresh ways of seeing the world. With my husband, Danny, an artist, I have made some remarkable journeys: months spent traversing the uninhabited Chilean Altiplano with seven llamas and no guides, crossing the sea ice by dog team in the High Arctic, with just my young family and working on active volcanoes in Guatemala and Hawaii. Each journey a shared exploration recorded in writings, photographs, film and Danny’s paintings.
A Memoir
Somewhere Cold: A Year Living in the High Arctic
A compelling blend of travel narrative, family memoir and cultural observation, richly illustrated with photographs, Somewhere Cold is about pushing boundaries, embracing the unknown and discovering that sometimes the most valuable lessons come from unexpected places.

‘- at once tender and unflinching.’
‘Here is a work of rare honesty and subtlety — a meditation on solitude, survival, and the wild grace of remote places. Geraldine Osborne’s words are anchored in lived experience, yet they reach far beyond the specifics of her own story to speak of the universal human need for connection with the land. Somewhere Cold is at once tender and unflinching; it reminds us how vast, complex and precious our world is.
