Arctic Expedition 2013 | July 14-28 Students on Ice ARCTIC EXPEDITION 2013 | JULY 14-28 “The Students on Ice Arctic Youth Expedition 2013 offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for youth, from both the north and south, to become engaged in the discussion and decisions about the future of the Arctic. What better place to do it than on a journey through the Arctic? Will we continue to react to events as they unfold, or will we be leaders in the race to chart the region’s economic, environmental and cultural future?” Ed Struzik Award-winning Arctic journalist Author of The Big Thaw: Travels in the Melting North THE EXPEDITION 2009 recipient of the Michener Deacon Fellowship The 13th annual Students on Ice Arctic expedition will be a profound hands-on experience for youth to expand their knowledge of the changing circumpolar world, foster a new understanding and respect for the planet, and gain the inspiration and motivation needed to help lead us to a healthy and sustainable future. Eighty high-school youth from around the world will participate on this educational journey of a lifetime, together with a diverse team of twenty top CEO’s and leaders, and thirty elders, educators, experts, scientists, artists, musicians, dignitaries, journalists, authors and innovators. The journey will be an extraordinary platform for the ‘leaders of today’ to learn, share and pass the torch to the ‘leaders of tomorrow’. Our ship-based Arctic expedition begins this year in Canada’s capital city Ottawa. From there we fly to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to board our expedition vessel and set sail to explore the communities, coasts, fiords, bays and islands of western Greenland, Davis Strait, Baffin Island, and Lancaster Sound. The final leg of our journey is sailing into the Northwest Passage! Each day will be filled with exploration, discovery, presentations, workshops, hands-on research, hikes, fun, and lots of adventure! Activities will include wildlife encounters, visits to remote Arctic communities, as well as the opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge and insight into the dynamics of climate change, traditional knowledge, scientific research, and other diverse Arctic and Global issues. Our team’s experiences and messages will be shared widely around the world via traditional and social media and post-expedition outreach and new initiatives. Resolute Bay July 27 “The polar regions have risen to the top of environmental concerns. Endowed especially in the high Arctic, BAFFIN ISLAND with unique and newly endangered GREENLAND life forms; holding a large fraction of Kangerlussuaq Earth’s fresh water; and subject to July 17 exceptionally rapid climate change, Iqaluit ICELAND these remote parts of the world have a great importance for the generations Labrador Sea Atlantic immediately ahead.

I found out more about myself in the moments where my hand was outreached to feel the crystals of a ten thousand year old iceberg or as my feet were shocked from the run-off of a glacier with ten kilometers still ahead of me, or as my eyes were fixated with those of a Polar Bear. It was then that I found my capacity for things on a global stage, and that magic and possibility still exist in a world which seems to get smaller with every click of a mouse.” Donovan Taplin Student, Arctic Expedition 2010 “Education is one of the key factors that influence how we live our lives. What Students on Ice offers is a wonderful program that introduces you to the many vital issues facing northern countries and allows you hands-on experiences that truly bring to life the beauty of the north.” His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., C.D.

  • Strengthening Scientific Literacy on Polar Regions Through Education, Outreach and Communication (EOC)
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 12, 5498-5515 OPEN ACCESS Strengthening Scientific Literacy on Polar Regions Through Education, Outreach and Communication (EOC) Ahmad Firdaus Ahmad Shabudina, Rashidah Abdul Rahima, and Theam Foo Nga aUniversiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, MALAYSIA ABSTRACT In the 21st century, mankind must acknowledge the roles of polar regions in global sustainability, especially its interrelationship with Earth's climate system. Notably, dissemination of science knowledge and awareness that arises through education, outreach, and effective communication are key instruments that can help towards environmental conservation and sustainability on the polar regions. This paper aims to discover the science knowledge that has been derived about the polar regions and then to recommend the comprehensive approach for strengthening the Education, Outreach and Communication (EOC) strategy in promoting the polar regions. The fundamental scientific literacy on the polar regions can create a new understanding and respect towards the polar regions by mankind. Specifically, this would happen when a scientific perspective is brought into global problems that integrate socio-scientific issues (SSI) in science education and fostering science diplomacy and global common. Besides, it broadens the perspective about the earth as a global ecosystem. Therefore, a synergy framework of EOC is needed in a national polar programme to strengthen and sustain the public’s awareness and interest on the polar regions. Consequently, the information from this paper is important for policy makers and national polar governance in developing the future strategy of co- ordinating stakeholders and funds for EOC initiatives, especially during the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP).

  • Flag Report #19 Keough FINAL
    FLAG EXPEDITION REPORT Flag Number 19 ANTARCTICA: Eye Witness Impact of Tourism 2014 compared to 1999 Submitted by ROSEMARIE KEOUGH JUNE 26, 2014 1 Flag Number: 19 Title of Expedition: ANTARCTICA: Eye Witness Impact of Tourism 2014 compared to 1999 Location of Expedition: 2014 Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands 1999 - 2001 Macquarie Island, South Sheltland Islands, South Orkney Islands, South Georgia. And in Antartica proper: Antarctic Peninsula, Queen Maud Land, Ellsworth Land, Berkner Island, Victoria Land, Ross Island and Ross Ice Shelf. Dates of Expedition: For the 2014 expedition, two voyages to the Antarctic were made between January 3rd and February 17th. For the two austral summers 1999-2000 and 2000-2001, consecutive Antarctica expeditions took place between first November through end March. WINGS Flag #19 was carried during the 2014 expedition. Expedition Participants: Rosemarie Keough – Leader, interviewer, photographer, researcher, reporting Pat Keough – photographer, supporter Expedition Sponsors and Funding: The 2014 expedition was opportunistic, piggy-backed upon a paid professional assigment. The Keoughs were engaged as lecturers aboard MS Seabourn Quest for two Antarctic voyages. While approval was received by Seabournʼs Antarctica Program Manager for Rosemarie Keough to conduct the WINGS expedition, Seabourn is not a participant in the information gathered by the Keoughs or the report prepared. All opinions are those expressed by the Keoughs and by the interviewees, speaking at arms length from Seabourn Cruise Line. The 1999 – 2001 expeditions were entirely financed by Nahanni Productions Inc., Rosemarie and Pat Keoughʼs photographic arts company. 2 Purpose of Expedition: The purpose of the 2014 Flag Expedition was for Rosemarie and Pat Keough to observe and record the impact of Antarctic tourism and make comparisions to their first-hand experiences of 1999 through 2001 when the couple spent two austral summers extensively exploring the Antarctic taking photographs for their tome ANTARCTICA.
