“It was June in northern Norway, a time of year when there’s little night to speak of anyway, and Tommy Olsen had spent most of it fielding distress calls from migrant boats crossing the Aegean Sea into Greece. Like most mornings, the schoolteacher and father of five awoke to dozens of WhatsApp messages. This, too, was usual enough. He made coffee and settled into what stood for his office — a desk crammed into a narrow hallway between his daughter’s room, the kitchen and the family bathroom — and got to work. One message was from a group of refugees from West Africa who were in the southeastern Aegean Sea off the small island of Kos.” (02/19/25)
