Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel.
This week, environmental reporter Sue Surkes speaks to award-winning Israeli photographer Roie Galitz, who uses his lens to show how climate change is impacting animals in the coldest parts of the planet.
Galitz lives in Tel Aviv, and has spent years traveling to the North Pole, Antarctica and other cold corners of the world, where he documents animals — polar bears are a particular favorite — and climate change as a result.
He wasn’t always an environmentalist, Galitz tells Surkes, but through his fascination with the animals in those places and the immense changes taking place there, he watched the Arctic warming up, causing dramatic changes.
“Photography freezes moments in time forever,” said Galitz, “it’s my time machine.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
