In 1993, Sunniva Sorby was part of the first all-women expedition team to ski across Antarctica to the South Pole. That history-making journey kicked off a thirty-year career of wilderness adventure that eventually transformed Sunniva into a citizen scientist conducting climate change research in the Antarctic and Arctic regions.

After making over 100 expedition trips to the Antarctic, most gathering data as a citizen scientist, Sunniva, along with Hilde Falun Strom, cofounded the non-profit Hearts in the Ice to raise awareness of personal responsibility, encourage involvement, and to help scientists monitor the impacts of climate change in polar regions.
