Listeners will learn how women manage to combine scientific work with the challenges of the polar environment and how their contributions transform modern science. When talking about polar expeditions, the image that often comes to mind is that of a rugged man in a heavy coat. However, behind many discoveries in the Arctic and Antarctica are women whose stories have long remained in the shadows. This lecture will introduce listeners to their world, full of scientific discoveries, overcoming challenges, and inspiration. Ekaterina Marchuk - a meteorologist, researcher, and science communicator - will talk about the first women who set foot on the icy land of Antarctica and endured harsh winters, about the heroines of the past and modern specialists whose contributions to polar research are undeniable. How is the perception of women's roles in science changing? What barriers must be overcome, and what is it like to work in extreme climatic conditions, being among the few women in a tough male-dominated environment? The lecture will be interesting for anyone who is passionate about science. It is an opportunity to look at a familiar topic in a new way and discover names that inspire by their example.
