Patrons and Testimonials

Sir Jonathon Porritt CBE
"Arctic Voice is an inspirational educational project. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reminds us just how urgently we need to address climate change, and to work together to make any kind of lasting difference. The whole Arctic region is already showing signs of dramatic change, and it will rapidly get a lot worse. Linking up with indigenous communities and schools in the Arctic is one way in which we can combine forces, in practice, to help address these threats."

Sir Chris Bonington CBE
“This is a great and challenging adventure with a serious and very worthwhile purpose in capturing the voice of the Inuit and raising awareness of the effects of global warming on the people, fauna and flora of the Arctic.”

Paul Okalik, Premier of Nunavut
"I am pleased to support your efforts at increasing international understanding of the effects on climate change on Inuit and our arctic environment. Your expedition will allow you to travel across a land that has supported our people for thousands of years. I know you will treat our land and culture with respect. I wish you Godspeed in your travel."

Dr. James P. Delgado, FRGS, Director of Vancouver Maritime Museum
"As a researcher who has spent time beneath the Arctic’s seas as well as on the land, I was able to learn about this incredible region’s unique environment, history and peoples. Like all visitors, I wish I had more time to learn more, and readily acknowledge how little I have been able to learn or absorb. Indeed, it would take a lifetime. I was able to share some of what I did learn through the magic of television and in print, and those projects in particular underscored just how important endeavours like Arctic Voice can be."
Dr Delgado is also the host on National Geographic International Television’s “The Sea Hunters”; and author of “Across the Top of the World: The Quest for the Northwest Passage”
