Girls* on Ice Switzerland

We are looking back on a summer with two successful glacier expeditions. We spent a wonderful time in the mountains with science, mountaineering and art, and of course a lot of fun with great people! Many thanks to everyone who made this possible! #inspiringgirls #optoutside

Last week we held an interactive school workshop at the Gymnase de Provence. As part of a sustainability week, we discussed science, glaciers, the climate in the past and in the future with the students. We also did interesting experiments. Thanks for taking part!
