Climate education about polar systems is most effective when it reaches people who are willing to take it seriously and share it with others. If you have found the Count of Krigsvold’s work useful, there are several ways to stay engaged and to support the mission.
The Count maintains a presence on several platforms. Updates, links to new research, and commentary on polar climate news are shared regularly.
On Bluesky at @krigsvold.org, posts are indexed and discoverable without an account, and the platform supports substantive links and discussion.
On Mastodon at @krigsvold@mastodon.social, the Count participates in the federated social web, with the fuller context that the longer-form environment allows.
The Facebook page at Count Krigsvold Westarctica reaches audiences who prefer that platform.
Sharing content you find genuinely useful is the simplest and most direct way to extend the reach of climate education. Quality over volume: one piece that someone reads carefully and thinks about is worth more than a dozen that scroll past.
If you are a researcher, educator, or science communicator whose work engages seriously with Antarctic or polar climate systems, the Fellowship may be relevant to you or to someone you know. Nominations and inquiries are welcome at info@basuhoward.org.
The Grand Duchy of Westarctica, within whose institutional framework the Count of Krigsvold holds his title, operates as a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of Western Antarctica’s environmental significance. Supporting Westarctica financially or through participation in its activities is a direct way to support the broader mission. Westarctica can be reached through westarctica.org.
The most durable contribution anyone can make to polar climate awareness is developing their own genuine understanding of the science. The Count’s website is a starting point, not an end. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) all produce public-facing content about ongoing polar research. IPCC Working Group I reports are technically dense but accessible with patience, and the Summary for Policymakers is written for exactly the audience it names.
