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

Hello hello, welcome to Part 2 of our March Polar Week Special episode! In this section our Polar Week Panel (Ingrid Medby, Stephen Roberts and Mathieu Casado) answer some questions from the public which have been sent to us by you lovely lot!
Why are some parts of the Antarctic melting faster than others?
Who, if anyone, "owns" the Arctic?
And most importantly: Can you make a slush puppy from the ice?
Our panel tackle all of these and more!
Thank you to everyone who sent us questions and apologies that we could not get through them all. We will be doing this feature again soon so stay tuned to Polar Times in the future!
If you would like to ask a polar person a question then please get in touch with us. You can email (thesearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS (@Polar_Research) questions, feedback, guest recommendations, anything at all, we would love to hear from you!
