From the Trollfjord in Norway, while sailing home from the whale season this past winter. The fjord was covered in ice, so the planned hike was replaced by freediving. @hughfrancisanderson in the bow. We look forward to seeing you again onboard soon for new adventures! Photo by @andreas.b.heide

In November 2019 we had the great pleasure of work

In November 2019 we had the great pleasure of working with former Jacques Cousteau cinematographer John Jackson on the making of a documentary for ZED France. We spent 13 days documenting orcas and humpbacks in Arctic Norway. The work has now resulted in a 25 minutes feature in the 3 episodes series “Genius Sea Hunters”. The show has airs on French television December 26th, and the rights have been sold globally and numerous translations will follow. The video is available to watch online (link in bio) but you have to be located in Europe. We are on from 26 minutes and onwards. To watch it outside Europe and / or in an English version, some patience will be required. The documentary features @andreas.b.heide (captain and diver), @psinst (trusted co-skipper), @buendiaphotography (drone pilot and topside videography) and @kevinpeyrusse ) underwater cinematographer. John Jackson was leading the shoot, and our proudest moment was when was at the helm of Barba, as he once was on the Calypso back in the day. Screengrab from the documentary by @kevinpeyrusse with @andreas.b.heide upon encountering 3 humpback whales under a fishing boat. More to follow, and do check out the documentary!

From interacting with grey seals outside in the St

From interacting with grey seals outside in the Stavanger archipelago this weekend, just next to home. I have been swimming with seals since my youth, and I still enjoy it just as much! The curiosity is mutual, and who knows, it´s perhaps the first time this seal meets with a free diver. Till we meet again! With @fabriceschnoller photo by @andreas.b.heide

While in the process of planning a new Barba exped

While in the process of planning a new Barba expedition in 2021, we are proud to present the book from the @arcticwhale.no expedition in 2019. It was brought to life by co-founders of the project, @sandraturnss and @andreas.b.heide, representing @turnss.no and @barbaboat respectively.

Although the two-month, 4000 km Arctic Whale expedition concluded in 2019, the result of our findings and subsequent storytelling will continue to have an impact for many years to come. With this project, we hope to have inspired change for the better in terms of protecting the ocean. The project and book would not have been possible without the supporters onshore and offshore, scientific institutions, sponsors and technical partners. We extend a big thanks to all those who made this project come to life:

Our main partner Chrisanic.no, our official partners @summaequity, @selvaagbolig @bonum.no and our advisory board @puriosity_by_mari @corporate.communications @karinanil, scientific partners @whalewise @unioslo and partners @norshipping @oceanmissionsiceland @katapultocean @empowerplastic @wwfnorge @kongsbergasa @stargatemedia @dnvgl @bandgsailing @spinlockhq @dubarryofireland @mustoclothing @anhovelsrud principal photographers : @tordkarlsen and @conormcdphoto

@andreas.b.heide performing a biopsy sample on a humpback whale during the @arcticwhale.noexpedition in Iceland last year. The sampling was done on behalf of The University of Iceland ‘s Research Center in Húsavík. The sample was processed onboard by @shedda, and divided into two sub samples. One for the University of Iceland for genetic sampling. The second was sent to the University of Oslo for electron microscopy analysis, as experimental research for locating nano plastic at a cellular level. A special thanks to @whalewise for assisting with the sampling in the field, and to @jessicaeroos for processing the samples.

Feature in the @davidattenborough narrated documentary “Whale Wisdom”, with a short appearance of Barba and 😊captain @andreas.b.heide . We assisted the @wildlogicfilms team from California led by Rick Rosenthal @rickrosenthalocean in finding orcas offshore Andenes, Norway. The documentary itself can be seen on curiosityStream.com. This was also the first time we had the pleasure working with cinematographer @mark.romanov We look forward to working with this inspiring and dedicated team in not hopefully not too long. Also a big thank you to Kristian Nyård, for helping with the boat handling. For the full story and a link to the documentary, go to barba.no/blog/
