We view the polar regions as living laboratories, where science and adventure co-exist, and where our guests can witness the profound beauty of our planet while supporting efforts to understand and protect it.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why, as part of our alliance with The Explorers Club, we\u2019re proud to work with scientists like Dr. Ulyana Horodyskyj Pe\u00f1a. A glaciologist, educator, and Explorers Club member and Science Grantee, Ulyana embodies the kind of curiosity and conscience that align with PONANT EXPLORATIONS\u2019 mission. Her research into atmospheric pollutants like black carbon and microplastics bring the urgent climate issues facing the planet to the foreground. Further, it informs the ways in which responsible travel \u2013 like that made possible by PONANT EXPLORATIONS\u2019 low-emission, hybrid-powered vessels \u2013 can be part of the solution.<\/p>\n
We sat down once again with Dr. Horodyskyj Pe\u00f1a<\/a> after her return from our Unexplored Antarctica expedition on board Le Commandant Charcot<\/em><\/a> and ahead of her upcoming journey across the Arctic<\/a>. Our talk ranged from what she\u2019s learning and what she\u2019s teaching to why she believes PONANT EXPLORATIONS is shaping a new frontier in polar science.<\/p>\n

What stood out to you about that experience \u2013<\/strong> both scientifically and personally?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
It was an incredible opportunity to explore a part of the Antarctic Peninsula I hadn\u2019t been to before. Scientifically, I was conducting research on light-absorbing particles, or LAPs \u2013 things like black carbon or soot that travel through the atmosphere and settle on polar ice. They\u2019re tiny, invisible to the naked eye, but they can have a massive impact by darkening the surface and accelerating melting.<\/p>\n
One particularly powerful moment was when I had my air sensor out and everything looked stable. Then a military ship passed by and there was this immediate spike in particulate levels. It\u2019s a stark reminder of how human activity reaches even these remote regions. It also underscored how different things are with PONANT EXPLORATIONS. Le Commandant Charcot<\/em> runs on a hybrid engine system and has dramatically reduced emissions. That difference matters to the environment, but it also minimizes intrusive readings from our own ship.

PONANT EXPLORATIONS is such a strong ally for science. Their ships offer access to places many researchers couldn\u2019t reach otherwise, and they do it in a way that\u2019s deeply thoughtful. The captain and crew were supportive and actively engaged. I spent time on the bridge looking at ice charts, talking navigation, and learning how they adapt to shifting sea ice conditions. There\u2019s a genuine interest in the science from every level of the team.<\/p>\n
And the guests were amazing, too. They asked smart questions, they were curious, and they cared. There\u2019s something powerful about sharing science in that setting \u2013 not in a lab, but in real time, with real-world implications. That blend of education and participation is rare, and it\u2019s one of the reasons I wish I had discovered PONANT EXPLORATIONS earlier in my career.

What are you hoping to uncover during this expedition?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
This one\u2019s incredibly exciting. We\u2019ll be traveling through Svalbard and up to the North Pole, regions where I\u2019ve worked before, but never in this continuous route across the Arctic Ocean. The timing is key: September is when Arctic sea ice is at its lowest, which will allow us to make the passage.<\/p>\n
My main focus will again be on LAPs and microplastics. We suspect the Arctic, being closer to major population centers, may show even more evidence of pollution than Antarctica. I\u2019ll be using sensors to monitor air quality and particle levels throughout the journey and documenting how conditions compare to past years.

Can you tell us more about that partnership?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Yes! One of the most meaningful parts of this journey will be working with high school students in Shishmaref, Alaska. As part of my NASA-funded grant, we\u2019re teaming up to study pollution. Before I even arrive, we\u2019ll be connecting online so students can follow along with our live data \u2013 satellite readings, pollution tracking, and onboard workshops. After the trip, I\u2019ll visit the school to dive deeper into the findings with them.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a full-circle moment: bringing polar science to the people who live in these vulnerable environments and helping them build their own data and understanding. For many of these students, it will be their first exposure to field science, and I hope it sparks something lasting.

The polar regions are poetry. There\u2019s this ethereal light that you just can\u2019t describe until you see it. I like to go out on deck, put in my earbuds, and listen to classical music while watching the sea and ice stretch out in every direction. In those moments, I think about what the world looked like before we arrived \u2013 and what we still have the chance to preserve.<\/p>\n
PONANT EXPLORATIONS makes those moments possible \u2013 not just for me, but for every guest who comes aboard. They support science, foster meaningful connections, and treat these places with the reverence they deserve. That\u2019s the model I want to be a part of. One that blends curiosity, care, and collective action.

Rencontre avec une photographe dont les clich\u00e9s sont les t\u00e9moins d\u2019un monde fascinant.<\/h2>
Depuis 13 ans, Nathalie Michel est l\u2019une des signatures images de PONANT. Escales vous propose de faire un retour sur un parcours hors norme, qui met en lumi\u00e8re une fa\u00e7on unique de travailler, \u00e0 travers le monde. Curiosit\u00e9, respect des sujets et des animaux, amour du voyage et des tr\u00e9sors les plus recul\u00e9s de la plan\u00e8te guident Nathalie Michel dans sa fa\u00e7on de regarder le monde.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Comment avez-vous choisi la photographie de voyage ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Je suis tomb\u00e9e un peu par hasard sur ce m\u00e9tier qu\u2019est la photographie<\/strong>, et pour lequel j\u2019ai eu un v\u00e9ritable coup de foudre<\/strong>. Je m\u2019y suis retrouv\u00e9e dans la passion<\/strong>, l\u2019envie de partager, de t\u00e9moigner. L\u2019amour de la mer, l\u2019envie d\u2019embarquer, ont ensuite naturellement ax\u00e9 mon travail sur la photo de voyage<\/a>. Le monde maritime est tr\u00e8s fort selon les conditions que l\u2019on peut avoir de temp\u00eate<\/a>, de lumi\u00e8re, et m\u00eame si \u00e7a ne transpara\u00eet pas par la photo, d\u2019odeur. Ce sont des ambiances<\/strong> chaque jour renouvel\u00e9es.<\/p>
Et puis, pour moi c\u2019est important d\u2019apprendre tout le temps sur les peuples, la faune, la flore. Ce qui pourrait d\u00e9finir le mieux ce m\u00e9tier, c\u2019est la curiosit\u00e9<\/strong>, la passion<\/strong> et l\u2019envie de partager<\/strong>. J\u2019ai la chance de voyager sur tous les continents. Je peux communiquer sur les connaissances et la beaut\u00e9 du monde aupr\u00e8s des gens qui ne peuvent pas voir tout cela.<\/p>

Comment ce m\u00e9tier vous a amen\u00e9e chez Ponant ?<\/strong><\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> J\u2019ai eu la chance d\u2019embarquer il y a d\u00e9j\u00e0 25 ans pour une autre compagnie. Et puis, le monde de la mer<\/strong> passe de fa\u00e7on incontournable par PONANT<\/a>. Certains de mes amis y travaillaient d\u00e9j\u00e0 et m\u2019ont invit\u00e9e \u00e0 les rejoindre en promettant que j\u2019allais y trouver ma place. Je ne cache pas qu\u2019au d\u00e9but j\u2019ai peut-\u00eatre embarqu\u00e9 en me disant : \u00ab Je vais faire un an ou deux \u00bb. Finalement, je n\u2019ai pas vu les treize derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es passer ! J\u2019ai embarqu\u00e9 sur tous les navires : Le Diamant puis Le Bor\u00e9al<\/em><\/a>, L\u2019Austral<\/em><\/a>, Le Sol\u00e9al<\/em><\/a>, Le Lyrial<\/em><\/a>, et enfin Le Lap\u00e9rouse<\/em><\/a>, ce magnifique bateau, inaugur\u00e9 en juillet 2018. PONANT<\/strong>, c\u2019est une aventure qui avance vite, qui va loin. Et qui, je pense, nous permet de r\u00e9aliser toutes ces envies de voyages<\/strong> et de d\u00e9couvertes<\/strong> non-stop. J\u2019ai toujours envie d\u2019aller plus loin. Ce qui est passionnant dans mon m\u00e9tier, c\u2019est de se dire que la plus belle photo, c\u2019est celle que l\u2019on fera demain.<\/p>
Aujourd\u2019hui, combien de photographes et de vid\u00e9astes \u00e9voluent au sein de la flotte Ponant ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> On a eu la chance de d\u00e9marrer sur Le Diamant<\/strong>, avec mon mari, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, qui est vid\u00e9aste. Nous \u00e9tions une petite \u00e9quipe. Puis, avec l\u2019av\u00e8nement des nouveaux navires<\/strong>, il a fallu recruter et former les gens. Nous recherchons des profils toujours aussi passionn\u00e9s, impliqu\u00e9s, avec une soif de d\u00e9couverte constante. Aujourd\u2019hui, nous avons dix photographes et vid\u00e9astes<\/strong> sur les navires. A l\u2019horizon 2021, on parle de 30 photographes<\/strong> et cam\u00e9raman embarqu\u00e9s.<\/p>
L\u2019objectif est de faire vivre le Studio Ponant<\/a>, cr\u00e9\u00e9 en 2016, et compos\u00e9 d\u2019une banque d\u2019images, d\u2019une phototh\u00e8que. Il a pour but de v\u00e9hiculer l\u2019image PONANT<\/strong> et d\u2019apporter une visibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 la compagnie partout dans le monde. Ces photos sont en effet utilis\u00e9es sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux, dans nos brochures\u2026 Le Studio Ponant, c\u2019est l\u2019ADN images<\/strong> de Ponant tant au niveau photos que vid\u00e9os.<\/p>
Quelle est la vie et l\u2019emploi du temps d\u2019un photographe ou vid\u00e9aste \u00e0 bord ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> D\u00e8s le premier jour de la croisi\u00e8re, quand les passagers arrivent, nous sommes pr\u00e9sents. Nous sommes l\u00e0 pour tracer l\u2019histoire<\/strong> de leur croisi\u00e8re. Nous immortalisons l\u2019accueil avec le Commandant, la premi\u00e8re poign\u00e9e de main, le premier contact avec le navire. Puis, on continue par le d\u00e9roul\u00e9 classique : les consignes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, le premier cocktail du Commandant, avec les tenues de gala<\/a>, l\u2019esprit de la croisi\u00e8re \u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise<\/strong>, ses coutumes, son apparat.<\/p>
Et surtout, que l\u2019on soit en croisi\u00e8re d\u2019exp\u00e9dition ou pas, on va tr\u00e8s vite d\u00e9couvrir la destination. Nous immortalisons tous les temps forts<\/strong> : paysages, faune et flore, rencontres avec des peuples, d\u00e9couvertes de l\u2019artisanat local\u2026 Les passagers pourront les retrouver sur un DVD retra\u00e7ant l\u2019histoire compl\u00e8te de ce voyage, nourrie des interviews des conf\u00e9renciers, des naturalistes, des Commandants. Un tr\u00e8s beau Best Of photo<\/strong> reprend \u00e9galement l\u2019int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 de ces temps forts.<\/p>

Comment conciliez-vous votre travail de photographe avec celui des naturalistes ou m\u00eame la pr\u00e9sence des passagers ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Nous travaillons forc\u00e9ment avec les naturalistes<\/a> et les conf\u00e9renciers pour conna\u00eetre les noms de certains animaux, des histoires, des lieux, qui peuvent \u00eatre racont\u00e9s en images. Ils nous aident \u00e9norm\u00e9ment pour toutes nos l\u00e9gendes. Il y a un vrai travail d\u2019\u00e9quipe<\/strong> \u00e0 bord.<\/p>
Lors des croisi\u00e8res d\u2019exp\u00e9dition, nous participons aux briefings que le chef d\u2019exp\u00e9dition fait aux naturalistes avant chaque d\u00e9barquement. Les \u00e9quipes photos et vid\u00e9os partent avec le premier Zodiac mis \u00e0 l\u2019eau. Les naturalistes font un rep\u00e9rage de terrain<\/strong> pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des passagers, pour prot\u00e9ger les zones o\u00f9 sont les animaux. Les photographes et cam\u00e9raman les accompagnent. Nous prenons des clich\u00e9s dont ils se serviront lors des r\u00e9unions de fin de journ\u00e9e. Mais aussi, \u00e9videmment pour saisir des instants d\u2019exception<\/strong>, d\u2019un albatros sur son nid, d\u2019une colonie d\u2019otarie. On voit la m\u00eame chose que nos passagers, mais notre travail d\u2019image n\u00e9cessite notre pr\u00e9sence en avance sur le terrain.<\/p>
Quand vous prenez une photo, qu\u2019est-il essentiel de partager ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Quand on parle de photographe et vid\u00e9aste professionnel, le minimum que l\u2019on attend, c\u2019est la qualit\u00e9 des images<\/strong>. Pour moi, les plus belles photos ne seront pas les plus techniquement parfaites. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 le photographe de terrain est bon, c\u2019est quand il transmet une \u00e9motion<\/strong>, quand il capture quelque chose de sensible de l\u2019animal, qui peut nous amuser, nous secouer. Concernant, les paysages, il faut en trouver une essence particuli\u00e8re<\/a>, apporter un \u0153il artistique. Il faut savoir regarder et transmettre, partager, \u00e9mouvoir<\/strong>.<\/p>

Comment se passe la rencontre avec des populations au bout du monde, quand on a un appareil photo dans les mains ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel<\/strong> : Partout dans le monde, au Groenland<\/a> ou en Oc\u00e9anie, lors de la cr\u00e9ation des croisi\u00e8res<\/a>, les chefs d\u2019exp\u00e9dition entrent en contact avec des chefs coutumiers ou des repr\u00e9sentants des peuples visit\u00e9s. Ils leur indiquent le nombre de personnes qui d\u00e9barqueront, ils leur demandent ce qu\u2019on peut faire ou non pour respecter<\/strong> leur mode de vie. Nous sommes pr\u00e9sents lors de cette phase. Nous leur demandons quelles sont leurs limites afin de ne pas perturber leurs vies.<\/p>
En ce qui me concerne, j\u2019ai beaucoup de facilit\u00e9s \u00e0 entrer en contact avec des gens dont je ne parle pas la langue. Une chose est s\u00fbre, c\u2019est que jamais je n\u2019\u00e9tablis de premier contact en mettant mon objectif entre la personne et moi. Il faut prendre connaissance<\/strong> de l\u2019autre, prendre conscience<\/strong> de l\u2019autre, dans un \u00e9change. C\u2019est ensuite que vient l\u2019envie de faire la photo. L\u00e0, je demande une autorisation ; et je respecte si on me dit non. Parce qu\u2019un portrait r\u00e9ussi ne peut \u00eatre beau que si on a le consentement<\/strong> de l\u2019autre. M\u00eame si le regard n\u2019est pas direct, il y a des fous rires, des attitudes\u2026 J\u2019ai d\u2019ailleurs intitul\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie de photos \u00ab Quand Ponant regarde le monde, le monde lui sourit \u00bb, parce que nous avons un int\u00e9r\u00eat<\/strong>, un respect<\/strong>, et une envie de partage<\/strong> avec les gens. On ne vient pas dans le but de les exploiter, de commercialiser, et ils le sentent.<\/p>

Quel est le plus beau compliment que l\u2019on peut vous faire sur une photo ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Je n\u2019ai pas forc\u00e9ment envie qu\u2019on me dise \u00ab Oh, c\u2019est une belle photo<\/em> \u00bb ! Je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re qu\u2019on me dise : \u00ab Cette photo-l\u00e0 m\u2019a donn\u00e9 des frissons<\/strong><\/em> \u00bb. J\u2019aime v\u00e9hiculer des \u00e9motions, faire resurgir des souvenirs, \u00e0 travers un portrait, un paysage.<\/p>
Quel est votre plus beau souvenir de voyage ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> J\u2019en ai beaucoup, mais surtout, j\u2019ai fait des rencontres humaines<\/strong> qui m\u2019ont boulevers\u00e9e. L\u2019important, ce n\u2019est pas d\u2019avoir fait trois fois le tour du monde, c\u2019est d\u2019\u00eatre libre d\u2019aller partout dans le monde, de le faire et de mesurer cette chance<\/strong>. Je peux me dire : \u00ab Aujourd\u2019hui je suis au pied du Corcovado au Br\u00e9sil<\/a>, hier j\u2019\u00e9tais sur un glacier en Antarctique<\/a>, demain je suis au Kamchatka<\/strong> avec les orques, \u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 est de la Russie<\/em> \u00bb.<\/p>
Existe-t-il un lieu que vous n\u2019avez pas encore explor\u00e9 et qui vous fait r\u00eaver ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel : L\u2019Afrique<\/strong> est mon continent de c\u0153ur, qui m\u2019\u00e9meut vraiment. Apr\u00e8s, m\u00eame les pays que j\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 visit\u00e9s ont toujours quelque chose de nouveau \u00e0 offrir. Tout d\u00e9pend de l\u2019\u00e2ge auquel on y va, de la p\u00e9riode \u00e0 laquelle on y va, mais on y trouve toujours un int\u00e9r\u00eat. Petite, je demandais : \u00ab Qu\u2019est-ce qui se passe ailleurs ? \u00bb Cette envie est toujours pr\u00e9sente, in\u00e9puisable.<\/p>
Quels sont vos prochains projets ?<\/h3>
Nathalie Michel :<\/strong> Dans cet esprit de partage de mon travail, j\u2019ai co-\u00e9crit avec St\u00e9phane Niveau, le premier tome d\u2019une s\u00e9rie de livres photo voyage : Cap au Nord<\/em>, sur l\u2019Arctique. Je suis en train d\u2019\u00e9crire Cap au Sud<\/em>.<\/p>
