Tales from the Poles – Call for Contributions
Have you lived, worked, or journeyed in the polar regions? Do you have a story, memory, or reflection from your time there?
UK Polar Network (UKPN) and APECS Netherlands are creating a collection of voices from the Arctic and Antarctic — and we would love to hear yours.
Whether you’re a scientist, station staff, community member, artist, guide, or someone who’s spent time on the ice, we invite you to share a story, poem, haiku, or memory that brings the polar regions to life. We’re especially interested in personal experiences that reflect the diversity of people connected to the poles.
Use this form to submit your contribution.
If you’d like to share a photo alongside your story, please send it to: [email protected]
Our goal is to publish these contributions —please submit your entries by October 2025– in both an e-book and printed edition by December 2025 — as a way to:
- Celebrate the human side of polar experiences
- Inspire new voices to engage with polar regions
- Highlight the rich diversity of people and perspectives shaping polar stories
