‘At first, the idea does sound crazy’: meet the scientists trying to refreeze the Arctic
Sea ice is melting fast, worsening the climate crisis, but a bold attempt to rethicken it is showing early signs of success
Antarctica’s west coast missing an area of sea ice the size of France as temperatures peak 20C above average

Tales from the Poles
Tales from the Poles is a collaborative storytelling project organized by APECS Netherlands and the UK Polar Network. Its aim is to bring together diverse voices connected to the Arctic and Antarctic, including scientists, Early Career Researchers (ECRs), community members, station staff, artists and anyone who has lived
‘Profound impacts’: record ocean heat is intensifying climate disasters, data shows
Oceans absorb 90% of global heating, making them a stark indicator of the relentless march of the climate crisis

We study glaciers. ‘Artificial glaciers’ and other tech may halt their total collapse
How might we prevent sea-level rise? Satellite-based radar, solar-powered drones, robot submarines and lab-based ‘artificial glaciers’ could all play a role
