Freeze the Future – Exploring Frozen Lakes With Andrew Budziak

Andrew Budziak is a Canadian explorer, filmmaker, and wildlife photographer who tells stories about the hidden natural world especially in places most people don’t think to look. As a Fellow of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society and a member of The Explorers Club, Andrew leads the project Freeze The Future, where he and a team of ice divers explore frozen lakes in the winter to study tiny organisms called algae and understand how climate change is affecting our freshwater. Through his films and expeditions, Andrew hopes to inspire students to see science as an adventure and to realize that you don’t have to travel far to discover amazing things – you can start exploring right in your own backyard.
