Today is the First-Ever World Day For Glaciers! ❄️🌍

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, threatening water security for 2 billion people, disrupting ecosystems, and accelerating sea-level rise. In 2023 alone, 600 gigatons of glacier ice were lost.

Let’s fight to preserve them!

Last week, on @beteve.cat, I could share my experience traveling to Antarctica with 124 women and non-binary people in STEMM. Gràcies per aquesta oportunitat!

I’ve been part of a once-in-a-lifetime experience; traveling to #Antarctica with an incredible group of women in STEMM as part of the #HBTransform Program with Homeward Bound. I feel grateful and humbled to be part of this community, learning from the people and the environment we have experience.

In two days I will start the journey through Patagonia and Antarctica to explore, learn and share stories that connect people, science, climate change and the natural values of these regions 🏔️🌎

🌍✨ Patagonia, here we come! ✨🌍
Just met Melisande for the first time, and we’ve officially wrapped up our last school visit before the big adventure!

In ONE WEEK, we’ll be landing in Buenos Aires to kick off 6 weeks of exploring, learning, and sharing the incredible story of Patagonia.

🌍 Happy International Mountain Day! 🏔️

Today, we celebrate the vital role mountains play in sustaining life and highlight both the opportunities and challenges in their development. We need global partnerships to drive positive change for the world’s mountains and highlands.

Antarctica Day is on Dec 1st each year. It marks the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, which sets aside Antarctica as a continent for peace and science.

To help celebrate, here’s a photo I took a couple of years ago, of a seal which had clearly got the message about peace.

Happy #AntarcticaDay!!

Thank you for amplifying our voices, Itziar! 🙌 It’s an honor to be part of this incredible group of women scientists, united in developing conservation and educational projects to tackle climate change while promoting visibility for women in STEM 🌱✨

In two months, I'll arrive in Ushuaia to join 100 STEMM women on Homeward Bound's final Antarctic voyage. ❄️ Why Antarctica? 👇
