Her interest in northern environments and cultures began at the age of 18 when she moved north of the Arctic Circle into the Yukon. Over the years, she has engaged in various activities such as dog sledding, hunting caribou, fishing for salmon, and tracking bears, all while learning to survive in the taiga and tundra. Bathsheba has lived and studied Arctic communities across Eurasia and North America, focusing on the archival histories where people, ideas, places, and non-human species intersect.
