Polar explorer and environmentalist Tim Jarvis prefers to pitch his environmental messages by stealth, weaving them into riveting accounts of his expeditions to the ends of the Earth. The British-Australian adventurer demonstrated this in Singapore recently to a group of 170 Royal Geographical Society members and guests including students, teachers and parents at the United World College of Southeast Asia.

Mr Jarvis attended school at UWCSEA as a boy while growing up in Singapore and Malaysia, among other places. Speaking about his Antarctic journeys, Mr Jarvis said that they challenge him to find a resourcefulness within himself. He has also found that relating his experiences in the North and South Poles is a useful way to show listeners how the effects of climate change are already beginning to devestate parts of the globe.

For example, he once had to scare off a polar bear who, hungry and grumpy after a long hibernation, eventually lumbered off in search of a seal. “Look at me. Tim Jarvis. Easy Green | Tim Jarvis.
