Svalbard
Svalbard An island just 1,000km from the North Pole, and known as the Arctic desert. it is home to impressive glaciers, incredible sea life and a rich history.
But just how old is this place? And is Svalbard future in danger?
We’ve brought ourselves to the edge of the Larsbreen Glacier to see what this magical land is hiding for ourselves.
FOSSILS
Accompanied by our fierce guard dog Nala, who was on the lookout for polar bears, we were searching for fossils.
These plant fossils are around 40 million years old
It’s hard to imagine plants growing in such a desolate landscape but 40 million years ago Svalbard was a lot closer to the equator and was home to many plants and trees.
These conifers plants might have fallen into a swamp and been covered in more and more sediment over time compressing the plant in the soil until it the soil hardened enough to become a rock and the plant remains imprinted in it.
Svalbard moved further away from the equator over millions of years and was covered in Glaciers during the last ice age. And as these glaciers have slowly moved and now are reducing we are able to find these amazing fossils.
WHALES
The First Humans to come to Svalbard came on expedition boats from Europe.
What they found upon arrival they were really not expecting.
To find out what they found that kept them coming back, we have to go out to sea
This was low season for whales but yet we seen over 100 whales on our two boat trips in the fjords, We saw Belugas, minky whales, fin whales which are the second biggest whale in the world , and humpback whales.
The sea was teaming with bird life, from northern fulmars, to arctic gulls to puffins. the wildlife here in the high arctic was amazing and along with the dramatic landscapes, rock formations, and glaciers, we were witnessing the beauty of nature on a scale we had not seen before.
Sea ice is a polar bears main hunting ground to catch seals, but in the warmer months the sea ice dissapears and polar bears can be seen hunting on the edges of glaciers.
A mother polar bear with two cubs were hunting and feeding here four days before we were here. A massive chunk of the glacier fell off right behind them and nearly crushed them. the mother then led them towards an abandoned Soviet settlement in search of food.
With Glaciers reducing and sea ice melting earlier every season it is leaving polar ears with less natural hunting habitats, and sometimes that leads them to search for food elsewhere, sometimes in human settlements, which was made clear to us on our next activity.
Climate change is forcing bears more and more into contact with humans as they are having to search harder for food.
If a polar bear is encroaching on the town it will be scared off through gunshots, driven away by helicoptors or even flown far away via a helicopter in the hope it does not return. If a bear keeps coming back it will eventually be shot dead.
In 2020 a polar bear on this shore swam to Longyearbyin and killed a man sleeping in a tent. The Polar bear was shot dead shortly after.
But what is permafrost and and how does it affect living in Svalbard?
The permafrost here actually plays an important role in preserving the biodiversity of the worlds crops, thrrough this building, the Global Seed Vault.

INCREDIBLE COLLAPSE TRIGGERED BY GLACIER CALVING | South America, Chile
An incredibly large chunk of the Grey Glacier's ice-sheet breaks off and flips over in a spectacular way in Southern Patagonia, Chile. The ice-sheet of the Grey Glacier is currently declining due to increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall. It is part of the 'Southern Patagonian Ice Field', the world's 2nd largest contiguous extrapolar ice field and the largest freshwater reservoir in South America.
The Grey Glacier is famous for insane glacier wall collapses during the summer when large icebergs – often up to 100 feet in height – are breaking off the glacier and collapsing into the water of the 'Lago Grey'. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created by such glacier calving events often splash dozens of meters through the air. The glacier itself is about 6 km (3.7 mi) wide and has an average height of over 30 m (100 ft) above the surface of the water.
Thankfully, no-one was injured as boats stay at a safe distance from the glacier (for a good reason).
Glacier calving, also known as ice calving, or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. The sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier or iceberg often causes large waves around the area and can result in a shooter which is a large chunk of the submerged portion of the iceberg surfacing above the water. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. (Find out more here:

Things Okay in Japan but Illegal Around the World
Use my code PAOLO15 at to get $15 off your first Bokksu Japanese snack box!
Shocking Laws okay in Japan, but illegal around the world. So I’ve made videos before on things you can’t do in Japan because of laws or unknown laws that could get you arrested, but in this video I wanted to switch things up a little and share with you some things that are legal in Japan but may be illegal in other parts of the world. Many think that Japan is a very strict country, but when you hear some of these Japanese laws you may be scratching your head. And to be clear from the start, I don’t recommend doing any of these things. I’m not providing legal advice and this is for entertainment only.

Does flying less actually help tackle climate change?
If you’ve ever questioned whether you can actually make any difference in tackling climate change, I’m hoping this video will help. And more specifically I address whether flying less actually makes any difference.
A few years ago I quit flying for holidays and since then whenever I go away I travel by land or sea, mainly by train or ferry. I’m hoping that by showing how much more of an adventure it is to take the train rather than flying will inspire others to travel this way.
If you’re interested in learning more about sustainable travel and seeing what a flight-free holiday looks like I will be uploading more videos in the future which explore both.
For now though I hope you enjoy this video and see you soon!

Impacts of Global Tipping Points on the Agricultural Sector
The Agriculture sector is massively vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As a key topic in the COP28 discussions this year, the global threat to livelihoods, food security and health is not unknown. However, little discussed are the impacts of global tipping points on our crops, their capacity to grow, and potential for their total failure.
During our Agriculture event at the SDG Tent, Arctic Basecamp’s Prof. Gail Whiteman will lead a panel discussion of field-leaders on the various threats, impacts and future available strategies which industry leaders are being confronted with. This session will offer invaluable insights from the latest research projections, urging businesses to make science-based decisions for the future.
Furthermore our panelists will consider how AI can support the development of solutions in this sector. An exciting ‘sneak-peek’ will be given of our new (Agri-risk) Agricultural risk analysis tool – which has been developed in collaboration between Arctic Basecamp and Deloitte.
Moderated by Prof. Gail Whiteman, (Founder of Arctic Basecamp & Professor of Sustainability at University of Exeter) with Science Presenter Prof. Julienne Stroeve (Chief Science Officer at Arctic Basecamp & UCL Earth Sciences)
What should visitor attractions do? Hopeful message from world leading climate scientist -
We ask a world leading climate scientist what climate action visitor attractions should prioritise. Find out the 2 key things Prof Tim Lenton suggests ...

1:17 Positive tipping point presentation
23:35 What quick win actions could visitor attractions take?
We were extremely lucky to have one of the world's top climate scientists join us at greenloop - sustainability in visitor attractions conference 2023. Professor Tim Lenton, a founder of the Global Systems Institute and Chair in Climate Change and Earth System Science at the University of Exeter will explain how positive tipping points could avoid climate catastrophy.
His books ‘Revolutions that Made the Earth’ (with Andrew Watson) and ‘Earth System Science: A Very Short Introduction’ have popularised a new scientific view of our planetary home. Lenton co-authored the ‘Planetary Boundaries’ framework and is renowned for his work identifying climate tipping points, which won the Times Higher Education Award for Research Project of the Year 2008. He has also received a Philip Leverhulme Prize 2004, the European Geosciences Union Outstanding Young Scientist Award 2006, the Geological Society of London William Smith Fund 2008, and the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award 2013.
Lenton is a member of the Earth Commission, an ISI Highly Cited Researcher, and in the top 100 of the Reuters ‘Hot List’ of the world’s top climate scientists. He is also a Turing Fellow, a Fellow of the Linnean Society, Geological Society and the Society of Biology.
We have left it too late to tackle climate change incrementally. It now requires transformational change, and a dramatic acceleration of progress.
In the face of such vast problems, we feel disempowered, said Professor Tim Lenton, director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter.
But – just as Tipping Points are part of the greatest threat we face – the same logic may also provide the solution. At the University of Exeter, we have identified a variety of Positive Tipping Points in human societies that can propel rapid decarbonisation.
