00:00Esther Horvath's photographs forming the center of a new exhibition were taken at a research
00:06village said to be the epicenter of global warming.
00:11She stressed that climate change does not happen overnight.
00:15Research observing its effects needs patience.
00:19Since the 1990s, more and more women have become involved in that work.
00:24You can be a sensitive, courageous woman and still be able to love the cold, and you can
00:28go on such a long journey with such great challenges, you can live in such places, because it doesn't
00:33matter if you are a woman or a man, it really depends on whether you love the cold or not,
00:38whether you love the ice or not, it just depends on that, and I would like to give an inspiration
00:44with these pictures to the younger generation, that maybe they can see themselves, that they
00:50can be an expert and work on such an expedition, they can be a researcher, they can be a student,
00:56and that these can be achieved if you love it.
00:59Climate change is often associated with numbers and scientific reports, but through her photos,
01:05Horvath wants to show the humans behind the scientific data.
01:10What kind of research is going on every day, and in order to understand the change of climates,
01:16we need a very long period of time, and this climate and environmental research village,
01:23New Alison, which the publisher is talking about, was founded in 1963, and since then,
01:29research has been going on every day, without exception.
01:34Esther Horvath has photographed 25 Arctic exploration expeditions since 2015.
01:41Her work has been recognized with the World Press Photo first prize,
01:45and the National Geographic Wayfinder award, amongst others.
01:50The photo exhibition Night Stars of the Arctic can be seen at Kappa Center in Budapest
01:55from the 25th of October to the 31st of January.
