Join wild animal biologist Lucy Eckersley for a journey into the frozen web of life that defines the Arctic. From microscopic plankton to apex predators like polar bears, she reveals how each species plays a vital role in this fragile, rapidly changing ecosystem. Drawing on fieldwork in Svalbard and her signature blend of science and storytelling, Eckersley explores the ripple effects of climate disruption, the resilience of Arctic wildlife, and the surprising connections between distant species and global systems. This talk is a celebration of ecological interdependence—and a call to protect one of Earth’s most awe-inspiring biomes before it unravels.
