SOMETIMES THE HEART MUST LEAD THE WAY
“Hearts In The Ice” is Hilde Fålun Strøm and Sunniva Sorby. With 50 years of combined experience in the Arctic and the Antarctic they are working to shine a light on climate change and what we can all do to mitigate a disaster. Using storytelling, education, interactive resources and data through their citizen science collaborations they are agents of change.
Hearts in the ice Embrace the PLANET BRACELETS
Hearts in the Ice project is about global connectivity around a climate crisis. Change never happens over-night but it does always start with us. We all desperately need to collaborate to solve some of the world’s most pernicious problems.
Our entire world is interconnected – everything in the ocean, sky, on land is all connected in one small way or another.
Join the Hearts in the Ice (HITI) team with the purchase of a unique “Embrace the Planet Bracelet” that features the iconic Polar Bear or Penguin - two species threatened by Climate change. Your purchase will support the education platform and outreach as HITI aims to connect us to climate issues that concern us all.

They were based at the remote trappers cabin Bamsebu for 12 months and now they are going back. Sunniva Sorby and Hilde Fålun Strøm will again serve as citizen scientists by collecting data and observations from phytoplankton to polar bears for 7 different international climate research projects. They are also field testing innovative technology to find out what is possible in minimizing our carbon footprint. Climate change is not taking a break so neither are they!
Together we can all make a difference.
Thank you for caring!

CITIZEN SCIENCE
Otherwise known as Community Science, HITI has been collaborating with the Norwegian Polar Institute, The University of Svalbard, NASA, The Scripps Institute of Oceanography and BCIT. Adding valuable data to existing research helps inform us all on the state of our planet.
Every one of us can participate in Citizen Science.
SUstainable solutions
For 19 months Hearts in the Ice field tested cutting edge technology in one of the world’s most extreme environments in Svalbard. They used solar and wind for power and satellite communications and a Telemed Kit from Marlink. They are committed to highlighting and
sharing solutions so we can all make the world a better place.
