- It has been an exhausting and exhaustive trip, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Once home and on the mend, I will continue to reflect on what I’ve learned anew from my return to this fascinating region, and from meeting with a host of people at the very center of its fate.Until then, here are the final photos from our trip, courtesy of Nick Mead, official Team Mead photographer for the trip.
