Science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet! It’s said that the poles are the thermometer for the rest of the planet- what happens to the rest of us, has already been happening there for years. It’s easy with the state of the world currently to bunker down in a little private bubble, but its more essential than ever that we broaden our horizons and remember that there’s a world out there that is incredible- and needs us! And if that sounds too heavy for you then instead why not join us to escape as we take to on audial adventures to these strange and remote and beautiful places? We’ll speak to guests who’ve looked polar bears in the eye, who drive 12k ton ships through ice 9ft thick or who spend years doing science with no-one but three other people and thousands of penguins for company! These are Polar Times we live in. Join us, and we’ll take you there! An APECS Production (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists). Music credits: ”Scuba” - Metre Unaltered License: CC BY-NC-SA

It's March Polar Week! Or rather, just drawing to the close of March Polar Week! For those of you who don't know, this week has been one of celebration in the polar community. A time for polar academics, residents, visitors and aficionados to come together and celebrate everything about our polar places that makes us happy: the beauty, the diversity, the resilience and fragility of our frozen worlds.
In order to celebrate here at Polar Times we have put together a special episode featuring a panel of guests from a range of backgrounds bringing a range of experiences.
We are pleased to welcome Ingrid Medby of Oxford Brookes University, Stephen Roberts of the British Antarctic Survey and Mathieu Casado of the Alfred Wegner Institute!
Part 1 (of 2) features the discussion from our panel on the theme of "Change" a topic which will likely resonate with a lot you after the last year!
As usual, if you would like to get in contact with Polar Times to recommend a guest, volunteer to be a guest, give us some feedback or just ask a question then you can email us (thesearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS @Polar_Research any time- we would love to hear from you!
From all of us at Polar Times, Happy Polar Week!
