Under the Pole: Live From Antarctica

Description

Under the Pole: Live From Antarctica

Join the Under the Pole Expedition from their sturdy aluminum schooner, designed to navigate all the world’s seas ‑ tropical, temperate and polar regions ‑ or wintering on the ice. Their mission is to advance knowledge of Antarctic marine ecosystems, particularly in the mesophotic zone, and taking action to protect them.

For the past 15 years, Under The Pole expeditions have gone to the Geographic North Pole, spent two years in Greenland wintering in the ice and sailed through the Northwest Passage and to Svalbard. These expeditions stand out for the rarity of the images brought back, others for the value of the scientific work and technological innovation in an environment where humankind can only stay on borrowed time: the ocean. To succeed in exploring polar, temperate, and tropical environments—seldom visited because of their difficult access—requires unconventional resources.
