Sue Stockdale speaks with Arctic expedition leader Hilde Fålun Strøm about her unique experiences living in Svalbard and her commitment to conservation. Hilda shares insights on the challenges of enduring 24-hour darkness, her transformative 19-month stay in a trapper’s cabin during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of routine and adaptation in extreme environments.
The conversation also explores Hilda’s role in promoting sustainable tourism, polar bear protection, and climate change awareness as godmother to an expedition cruise ship.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the Arctic’s natural beauty, its rapidly changing climate, and the pivotal role individuals can play in conservation efforts.
