🌍 Have you lived, worked, or journeyed in the polar regions? Do you have a story, memory, or reflection from your time there?
UK Polar Network (UKPN) and APECS Netherlands are creating a collection of voices from the Arctic and Antarctic — and we would love to hear yours.
📖 Whether you're a scientist, station staff, community member, artist, guide, or someone who's spent time on the ice, we invite you to share a story, poem, haiku, or memory that brings the polar regions to life. We're especially interested in personal experiences that reflect the diversity of people connected to the poles.

📷 If you'd like to share a photo alongside your story, please send it to: apecsphotos@gmail.com
Our goal is to publish these contributions —please submit your entries by October 2025- in both an e-book and printed edition by December 2025 — as a way to:
🔹 Celebrate the human side of polar experiences
🔹 Inspire new voices to engage with polar regions
🔹 Highlight the rich diversity of people and perspectives shaping polar stories
