24/7 darkness, polar bears and ice everywhere: 8 striking photos of Arctic researchers at work
The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the global average, so it’s essential for scientists to study this climate now so they can better understand our warming world. Photographer Esther Horvath braved bone-chilling temperatures to capture these beautiful scenes of researchers at work.
The loss of polar ice may seem like an abstract concern, but it’s one that will affect all of us, no matter where we live, says glaciologist and TED Fellow Michele Koppes.
Artist Zaria Forman travels thousands of miles to collect source material for drawings that portray the beauty and fragility of the world. Her goal? To help people experience the sublimity of these landscapes, so they’ll be inspired to protect and preserve them.
