Why aren’t you on the show anymore
I haven’t seen Glenn on “Life below Zero” this year. What’s up?
To the producers of Life below Zero,
Please bring Glenn back. I have enjoyed your show through the years as it shows what’s so amazing about this great country. This show gives us an opportunity to look into the lives and struggles of others. The highs, lows and everything in between. Our children need to feel and see what’s authentic and pure. School children need to see there are real people who absolutely love the indigenous way of life and it can be found right here in America. Now, how cool is that!
He Is what I would call a very humble true outdoorsman!
Glen needs to be back on the show because Trisha and the children are now with him. That is a totally different dynamic. I hope he comes back.
I liked Glenn more than Sue. You ditched the wrong one Nat Geo!
