For the fifth instalment of our series \u201cHeroes of the Mediterranean\u201d meet a man passionate about the Arctic and determined to protect our planet from the threat of rising sea levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the place for me. I felt trapped, like I had no freedom\u2026\u201d Casting his mind back to his youth, he doesn\u2019t recall his school years fondly. \u201cI would look outside. I would write. I would dream and imagine life.\u201d He spent most of his day staring out of the window, completely lost in his thoughts. Daydreaming was his escape from education\u2019s four walls. Alban Michon knew only too well that school wasn\u2019t for everyone. \u201cI already knew that I wanted to be a diving instructor when I grew up.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When freed from the confines of the classroom, he pursued his interest in diving. He learnt the art all by himself. \u201cI fell in love with it. Although, that\u2019s nothing new. I\u2019m always falling in love,\u201d he says with a smile. \u201cThe feeling of being underwater is incredible. I feel weightless\u2026 it\u2019s as if I\u2019m flying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alban-Michon\"
According to Alban Michon, we can\u2019t deny it any longer. Rising sea levels are a real issue and one we have to face.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A love for the Arctic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a child, Alban Michon (now aged 43) always loved the sea. He delighted in spending his summers on the Giens peninsula near Hy\u00e8res. Currently residing in Hy\u00e8res, a town in southeastern France, he lives not far from the Mediterranean coast where he spent his youth.\r\n\r\n\u201cI went every summer with my parents. I was drawn to the sea. I often gazed out over to Cousteau.\u201d Born in Troyes, far from the coast, in the north-east of France, he discovered his love of the ocean through books. However, the pictures on the pages soon came to life. Michon qualified as a diving instructor in 1999 and spent summers diving in Corsica and off the Mediterranean island of Port-Cros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent all my time diving. Slowly but surely, I began diving under ice.\u201d At just 22 years old, he became the owner of the Ice Diving School in Tignes. Following this, Jean-Louis \u00c9tienne, a famous ocean explorer, gave him the opportunity to have his first expedition. \u201cI wanted to explore the polar regions. It was by diving in places like the Arctic, Canada and North America that I found my passion for sea ice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists agree that there will be no more ice in the North Pole in summer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He desperately wants to see it again before it disappears. As he explains his passion for the region, his face lights up. His love of the deep blue is obvious. \u201cI like everything about the Arctic. The colours, the geography, the atmosphere. The smell of the cold too! I\u2019m very sensitive to that, to the light too. Here (in the conference centre that is the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, editor\u2019s note) I\u2019m too hot, it\u2019s too crowded. It\u2019s hellish (he laughs). It\u2019s hard to explain. Being underwater is so freeing. The freedom is what I love the most. I have this need to escape. When I dive, it\u2019s so intense, it takes me several years to get over it. Whenever I\u2019m not diving though, I feel this huge pull to be back out there.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnder water I feel weightless. I feel like I\u2019m flying\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Melting sea ice: a symptom of a sick planet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Arctic has become Alban Michon\u2019s second home; It pains him to see the ice melting. \u201cFor ten years now I\u2019ve been observing the changing sea ice. You don\u2019t need to be at the Poles to see that it\u2019s melting. Not so long ago, explorers were fearful of the sea ice. Their boats struggled to break through it. It was strong, powerful. The sea ice posed the threat, not us. Today the ice serves as a reminder of this past, and then it will also play a vital role in determining our future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Alban Michon, we can\u2019t deny it any longer. Rising sea levels are a real issue and one we have to face. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening up there will have consequences for us too,\u201d declares the man who dreams of one day diving on Mars. \u201cThe effects can already be seen on coastal towns. The Arctic is changing. Temperatures there are rising twice as fast as in the rest of world. Scientists agree that there will be no more ice in the North Pole in summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the world\u2019s islands are at risk of being submerged under water. They are destined to disappear, just as the Maldives are<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to reports from IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), in a hundred years from now, sea levels will rise by 40cm (or by as much as 1.1 metres if the worst-case predictions are to be believed), with a further increase of 5 metres by 2300. However, despite the bleak data, Alban Michon refuses to give into pessimism and wants to spread a message of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMonaco and the Cote d\u2019Azur are going to be affected in the near future. All of the World\u2019s islands are at risk of being submerged under water. They are destined to disappear, just as the Maldives are. However, mankind has always been able to adapt to its environment. We are resilient. The data collected from my expeditions will help the future generations. That\u2019s the reason I explore. If we are to protect the future of our planet, we absolutely have to understand our past and how we\u2019ve gotten to where we are today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
