Polar TimesAuthor: APECS
Science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet! Its 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. Its 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 theres 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? Well speak to guests whove 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 well take you there! An APECS Production (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists).
