Catlin Artic Survey



Here is an Adventure that will be  slow, cold and honest.

For a better description from Catlin Artic Survey. "The Ice Team members have all reached the North Pole before, so this project is not about getting to the Pole, but rather about securing relevant scientific data. The choice of route has been dictated by the need to obtain the maximum amount of data possible along a scientifically relevant transect. The North Geographic Pole was the natural end point. The team will be travelling on foot, hauling sledges from 81°N 130°W, across 1,000-km of disintegrating and shifting sea ice, for around 100 days, in temperatures from 0ºC down to -50°C."

What is really engaging is the Live Feed complete with Biotelemetry, you monitor  these three researchers vital signs.


It is a Natural Progression from the Vendee Globe Adventure,

This time instead of 30 it is 3 helping each other on a frozen aquatic environment.


Enjoy,
