About the APS

The American Polar Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that welcomes individual and corporate members. This includes current, former, and future scientists, policy makers and diplomats, teachers, artists and writers, indigenous populations, tourists, manufacturers of gear and equipment, animal lovers, and anyone else interested in the two polar regions.

Our volunteers are updating and enhancing our members’ experience with a dynamic new interactive website, our magazine, and biannual meetings and symposia. Check back for exciting developments!

The Polar Times

The Polar Times is the semi-annual magazine of the American Polar Society. Join the American Polar Society now and keep abreast of the current news happening in the Arctic and Antarctica! The Polar Times is delightfully old-fashioned, meaning that we send you an actual magazine.
