A lifetime explorer and expedition guide, Hilde Fålun Strøm's life changed in 2015 when a powerful avalanche just missed burying her home in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the northernmost year-round settlement on the planet. Though her home was spared by mere meters and she and husband were unhurt, the lives of two of her neighbors, one just two-years old, were taken, and seventeen of her neighbor’s homes were destroyed. She vowed to do everything she could to raise awareness about the climate change impacts that caused the avalanche.

When Hilde met Sunniva Sorby, a woman who had spent her life traveling to the South Pole who was, like Hilde, conducing citizen science, Hilde recognized her as a kindred spirit. They joined forces to create ⁠Hearts in the Ice⁠, a “Platform for social engagement connecting students, scientists, manufacturers, environmental organizations, and all who care about the health of our planet, in the conversation around climate change.”

In this episode, we discuss:
• The rapidly changing climate in polar regions.
• The raw beauty that defines the polar north.
• Why polar bears are starving without enough sea ice.
• First women to over-winter in an isolated Svalbard cabin.
• Counting polar bear pups during Covid lockdown.
• Drilling Arctic ice to count phytoplankton, the microscopic marine algae that is a key source of world’s oxygen.
• Life lessons learned in isolation during polar over-winter.
• The joy of living with absolute purpose each day.
• How expressing gratitude daily profoundly strengthens human connection.
• Preserving Indigenous traditions in the Canadian Arctic.
