This is Dr Camille Lemonnier, a postdoc at the University of Strasbourg who investigates the cognitive processes underlying foraging decisions in seabirds and their link with individual personality and changes in the environment.

"One of the main lessons I have learned from these campaigns (...) is that another way of life is possible. It is possible to slow down, protect our environment, reduce our impact, and have less without losing quality of life. Solutions exist; we just have to be willing to put in the effort."

Many times we were asked why we are driving on the continent to the places that no one is going. Well, below is a figure published in 2019 by Dr. Whitehouse et al. summarizing factors that are changing the ice-sheet behaviors. The phenomena affecting the ice from below (yes, believe it or not, there is subglacial volcanism beneath the ice sheet!) are not well studied, and that motivates our trips!
