Arctic Immersion Expedition 8th – 12th September 2022

4 nights / 5 days voyage, invite only, the hearts in the Ice community, unites students, scientists, artists, manufacturers, environmental organizations, thought leaders and all who care about the health of our planet, in conversation around climate change.

We are all living in the defining decade with a window of opportunity to address climate change, biodiversity loss, sea ice loss and other issues.

From recording a Nasa rocket launch, capturing time-lapse of aurora and shifting ice to observing over 100 Polar Bears, Hilde, Sunniva and Ettra collected samples from phytoplankton to ice-cores all the while connecting with youth around the world.

What did Hilde and Sunniva learn after spending 19 months alone without running water or electricity, six of them in total darkness? What is the value of citizen science? What can observation, indigenous wisdom and immersion into nature teach us about resilience, compassion and care as we all work to solve the big problems?
