With cave diver and climate advocate Jill Heinerth. Climate change affects us all. But women, girls, and gender-diverse people often experience harsher impacts of climate change, especially those who are most marginalized. They're also an important part of effective climate solutions. Gender equality itself is a climate crisis solution. Anishinabek Nation Chief Water Commissioner Autumn Peltier says, “I advocate for water because we all came from water and water is literally the only reason we are here today and living on this earth.” The United Nations says, “from unpredictable rainfall patterns to shrinking ice sheets, rising sea levels, floods and droughts – most impacts of climate change come down to water.” Knowing what's happening with our world's water – and how we can protect and honour it as a life-giving force we all need – is essential. More people have walked on the moon than visited many of the places our guest Jill Heinerth has explored on Earth. From the most dangerous technical dives deep inside underwater caves to swimming through giant Antarctic icebergs, she collaborates with climatologists, archaeologists, biologists, and engineers worldwide. Jill is a tireless advocate for underwater conservation and water resource protection. She has made award-winning TV programs, consulted on movies, and produced documentary films. Over two and a half million people have learned about climate change, water advocacy, and exploration by viewing her TED Talks. Jill was named the first Explorer-in-Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and she is the recipient of many medals and awards. She is author of the bestselling memoir, Into the Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver, and focus of a new documentary, Diving Into The Darkness.

Jill Heinerth is a professional cave diver who faces threats big and small constantly – from dangerous technical dives deep inside underwater caves, to searching for never-before-seen ecosystems inside Antarctic icebergs. Jill recounts her incredible experiences in maneuvering through challenging times and shares tips on how to face what scares you – and dive into your own rich, rewarding adventures. For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts
Imagine being one of the very few people in history to descend deep into an Antarctic iceberg and come face-to-face with the mysteries hidden beneath the ice. Imagine then being trapped inside this underwater abyss whereby the split-second decisions you make determine whether you live or die. This is the remarkable true story of today's guest Jill Heinerth.Jill is one of the most accomplished underwater explorers on the planet who has accomplished feats that only a handful of people in history have ever achieved.She famously captained an expedition in 2001 to become the first-ever to cave dive inside an iceberg, notably the B-15 iceberg in Antarctica, the largest recorded iceberg roughly the size of the island of Jamaica and was the leader of a team that discovered the ancient watery remains of Mayan civilisations.During this phenomenal conversation, Jill takes us on an intimate journey deep into the inner depths of her world, whereby fear must be reconciled, and a mission's success balances between knowing one's limits and pushing the envelope of human endurance.We discuss topics such as facing fear, the Tham Luang cave rescue, sexism, imposter syndrome, and the challenges that come with pushing one's limits, such as physical and emotional stress, isolation, PTSD to the grief and loss which go hand in hand to the career she loves. More people have died exploring underwater caves than climbing mount Everest, as Jill emphasises the importance of embracing fear as a positive catalyst, and how by embracing darkness, we learn to not just manage fear but thrive within it.Jill's story is a testament to the power of pursuing one's passion and pushing one's limits. By embracing fear, leaning into challenges, and persevering through adversity, we can achieve greatness and discover the extraordinary within ourselves."Jill's extraordinary path from under Antarctic icebergs to tropical blue holes is proof that real life is far more exciting than fiction." ~ James Cameron, Academy Award-Winning DirectorJill is an absolute delight. I loved getting to know her—and I know you will too. Jill's message is one of resounding resilience, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to living life to the fullest as when we transcend the fear of failure and terror of the unknown, we are all capable of great things, personally and as a society.We might not always know where the journey will lead us. We might feel a burden of difficulty. But all paths lead to discovery. Both good and bad life events contribute to the fabric of who we are as individuals and as a civilisation. If we continue to trek purposefully toward our dreams, into the planet and beyond, we just might achieve the impossible. Enjoy!
Dark Matter with Art Bell - Jill Heinerth Underwater Cave Exploration
“So if I'm managing a complicated life support device while I'm shooting stills or video underwater, there's a dual thing going on. The creative side of my brain loses all track of time, just as anyone that would ever sit down to paint or draw or even play on the computer. Time is just gone. But that left side of the brain has to keep track of time and constantly be monitoring my life support status. So there's a very present sense of time and forcing my brain back into keeping track of that, but these places that I swim through are timeless in the sense that many caves that I'm swimming through are like museums of natural history that inform us about things that happened in very ancient times on planet earth. So I'm swimming through this temporal portal to have a peek at ancient history.It's such a privilege swimming through these places. And I almost feel like I'm getting a secret peak into the body of the planet and that's a very precious and almost a sacred kind of collaboration where I get to experience this, I get to see this, but if I'm going to take these insanely challenging risks I need to make it worthwhile and share what I've seen so that other people have the benefit of understanding, a better conception of our connected planet. Both in the short term and in the long term scale as well. The sense of time can be warped by what's going on in my brain, so I do have this dance between left brain and right brain. Left brain pragmatic, right brain creative.”Jill Heinerth is a Canadian cave diver, underwater explorer, writer, photographer, and filmmaker. She is a veteran of over thirty years of filming, photography, and exploration on projects in submerged caves around the world.

Jill Heinerth is a Canadian cave diver, underwater explorer, writer, photographer, and filmmaker. She is a veteran of over thirty years of filming, photography, and exploration on projects in submerged caves around the world. She has made TV series, consulted on movies, written several books and is a frequent corporate keynote speaker. Jill is the first Explorer in Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, recipient of Canada's prestigious Polar Medal and is a Fellow of the International Scuba Divers Hall of Fame. In recognition of her lifetime achievement, Jill was awarded the Sir Christopher Ondaatje Medal for Exploration from the RCGS and the William Beebe Award from the Explorers Club.“I wrote a book called The Aquanaut for kids. I realized that our best hope for humanity is to ignite the imagination of kids. There were lots of things I was afraid of when I was a little kid. I was afraid of the dark. I was afraid to go down the basement stairs, and yet now I live most of my entire career in the dark, in places that would make people feel terrified and claustrophobic. So a lot of those young life experiences that I had I actually turned into my superpowers. And I want to encourage children to know that anything they dream of that they can make it come true with hard work and dedication. I talk all the time to groups, big and small, and I still get asked by people, 'Do you believe in climate change?' And I'm like, it's not a question of belief. It's science. It's happening. And although I might feel frustrated, I try to never communicate that frustration. I recognize that for whatever reason, someone just doesn't have the knowledge. So maybe it hasn't been taught at school. Maybe they've become subjected to the very strong voices of a political entity that has steered them away from believing in climate change. And so I try to take people at wherever they are and try to just very carefully and without judgment share what I've seen and my experiences and try to gently guide them towards better information sources because we can't just be polarized. We can't just call each other names when we don't understand. We have to help people to understand, put out a hand, and, hopefully, bring them onto our side, onto a better understanding of the science of what's occurring.”www.intotheplanet.comwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

“It's interesting because I'm an artist, a citizen scientist. I think of myself primarily as an artist, where many scientists that I work with are very pure applied scientists. And so when you are working for an academic institution, there's a very strict sort of chain of events, and protocols for observation, research, and writing for a peer review publication takes a long time. And at each step of the way that peer applied scientist needs to be quite specific and careful with their language. So they're not saying anything that can't be immediately and fully defended otherwise they might harm their reputation. Where an artist is really encouraged to sort of paint and imagine and just throw crazy ideas out there and brainstorm. So we might say things that are like, ‘Oh my gosh, did you see that skull? It's got silver teeth on it. Gee, I wonder if they were hiding their valuables inside this skull? Or whether that was a decorative application or whatever?' So we could throw out these crazy ideas, and the scientist is constantly going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's wait. We need to get evidence, research... And so we kind of temper each other in that yin-yang sort of way. But I would propose the planet doesn't have time for some of that traditional science anymore, and we need to put a little bit more effort into involving artists and citizen scientists in contributing to that data stream and the idea stream that can be synthesized into solving some of the planet's greatest issues right now, like water issues and climate change.”Jill Heinerth is a Canadian cave diver, underwater explorer, writer, photographer, and filmmaker.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... …two of the most adventurous people on the planet share what they've uncovered, faced and learned through exploration of the planet's deepest waters. From discovering the Titanic to cave diving in places untouched by any other human, Bob Ballard and Jill Heinerth took risks, dove into fear, and came up for air with tremendous new knowledge. Combined, they've spent over nine decades searching the seas and documenting their findings. Canadian Jill Heinerth explores the underwater world as one of the greatest cave divers on the planet. She's considered this generation's Jacques Cousteau. She's completed more than 7,500 dives in her career so far and dived deeper into caves than any woman in history. She became the first person to dive the ice caves of Antarctica, going further into an underwater cave system than any woman ever. She's gone into places in the world where no one had gone before.Learn more about Jill's lifetime of underwater cave diving in her memoir, “Into the Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver.” “We are capable of so much more than we could possibly imagine," she says.Considered a legend in the diving community, she's spent more than 30 years in submerged caves around the world partnering with National Geographic, NOAA, and various educational institutions and television networks worldwide. She's also a writer and award-winning photographer and filmmaker who takes a keen interest in the health of the Earth's oceans. She's made TV series, consulted on movies, given TEDtalks and continues to educate kids and adults alike on underwater wonders.Bob Ballard explores the vast depths of the oceans uncovering mysteries, proving theories, and revealing artifacts that tell a story about the history of humankind. An oceanographer and marine geologist, he's led nearly 160 deep-sea expeditions and worked with the Navy on top-secret missions. His underwater career spanning more than 60 years began simply enough as a child with a love of California's Mission Bay tide pools.He's gone on to discover ships thought long lost (the RMS Titanic in 1985) and provide extraordinary new understandings and discoveries in marine geology, geophysics, biology, and chemistry. He's discovered new life-forms, traced ancient trade routes, developed robots that roam the ocean floor, and opened the underwater world to kids through telepresence. Bob's recent memoir chronicles his underwater journeys “Into The Deep: A Memoir from the Man Who Found Titanic.” “Just lots of crazy things have happened, and I'm still at it and I'm not going to quit,” he says.In July 2021, Bob began an expedition to map areas of the Pacific Ocean from the shoreline to the abyss supported by a 10-year $200 million federally funded study.
