BERNICE NOTENBOOM
For over two decades, I’ve journeyed to the edges of the Earth—across polar ice, desert sands, and the world’s highest peaks—chronicling the silent transformations of a warming planet. Since my first Arctic expedition in 2003, I’ve reported stories of fragility and resilience for NPR, National Geographic Traveler, The Huffington Post, The Volkskrant, NRC Handelsblad and many leading international media.
Through films, books, and expeditions, I’ve sought not just to document climate change, but to create moments of reckoning. I’ve taken over 200 CEOs to Svalbard and Antarctica, helping them see with their own eyes what data alone cannot show.
From measuring black carbon on Greenland’s ice cap to tracking methane in Siberia and snowmelt on Everest, my work blends science with storytelling—offering a human lens on the planet’s most urgent crisis. Recently my focus has been on survival skills and how we can become more vital and mentally resilient.
