Sustainability & You Episode 37 - Martin Hartley

In this episode of the Sustainability & You podcast we interview Martin Hartley, world renown polar photographer. We talk about the power of photography and the visual arts in educating people on the impact of climate change, with a particular focus on Martins work in the polar regions.
Martin has spent more than 400 demanding days working in the Arctic and Antarctica on more than 20 polar expeditions and assignments. Time magazine has acknowledged Martin’s contribution to science with its prestigious Hero of the Environment award for his research work on multiple surveys of the frozen Arctic Ocean. In 2017 Martin joined a North Pole expedition to collect snow depth measurements for the European Space Agency’s CryosSat (sic) programme, which is being conducted in concert with NASA’s Operation IceBridge (sic) mission.
Martin’s passion for using his hard-won expedition and photographic expertise to benefit the future of our planet has taken him beyond the polar regions to desert, jungle, mountain and oceanic environments. He has documented indigenous communities, corporate responsibility initiatives and groundbreaking scientific programmes.
