We bring polar science adventures to your doorstep.

Polar expeditions have at all times been regarded as mysterious and inaccessible because of the remoteness and harshness of the regions in which they take place. Telling polar stories has always been a source of inspiration for the younger generation; they have long both intrigued and frightened. Today, in the face of climate change and environmental degradation, telling these stories becomes even more essential as they provide evidence of disappearing environments. Although we believe that unnecessary travels to these regions are not the solution to these issues, we do believe that telling the story of these scientific expeditions can serve as a tool to protect them.
