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 and welcome back to Polar Times, the podcast that brings you science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet!
Normal service has been resumed post-Polar Week and this week Jack is joined by Robert Kadas of Global Affairs Canada to talk all things Arctic Council!
Who are the Arctic Council? What do they do? Why are they important? How did they go from a small meeting in a church hall to the international power house of science, communication and geopolitics that it is today? As someone who has been involved with the Arctic Council since its inception, Robert is the perfect man to answer all of these questions and more. We also chat all things Arctic for a bit of background info!
This year is the 25th anniversary of the Arctic Council! Check out their website to find out what is being done to mark the occasion, as well as for lots more info on all of their exciting projects!
