Esther Horvath Documents the Women of Arctic Science

Women of Arctic Science is Esther Horvath’s ongoing portrait project that aims to increase visibility and inspire the next generation of women in science and exploration, particularly in the Arctic, via TED.

Beside portraying inspirational female researchers and explorers as role models goal is to document the dramatic changes of our planet’s climate system in its very hotspot in the Arctic region, in Svalbard where since 1991, mean annual air temperatures there have risen at a rate 5.1°C (41.18°F), which seven times the global average for the same period. With this project I want raise awareness about the urgency to protect the wonders of this region and with that the climate and the future of our planet.

Each woman was portrayed in the magical night atmosphere of Ny-Ålesund, with her research or professional tool, in a place she is connected to through her work or her dreams. The photos are accompanied by quotes and information about her scientific work or her dreams. They all have one thing in common: care, concern and love for the most fragile environment of our planet.
