Feature story with Natgeo UK, from the Jan Mayen chapter of the Arctic Sense expedition in 2021. Well done @hughfrancisanderson for writing the story, and for the rest of the crew @jaapvanrijckevorsel @hugopettit @andreas.b.heide and @annikcecilie as well as onshore support from @rissyclark and numerous partners and sponsors for making it happen.

@north_sails and @jeanneau_official teamed up to provide new sails for the 6000 nautical miles (a quarter of the worlds circumference) Arctic Sense expedition in 2021. Custom made sails are critical for our performance, well-being, and most importantly safety in the field. We are most grateful for their support, and we look forward to working with them in the continuation. Our next whale expedition is coming up in August this year, in cooperation with our science partner and dear friends at @whalewise . More to follow soon! 📸 1: @hugopettit 2-4: @tordkarlsen

Breaking the ice! Captured in Trollfjorden, Norway

Breaking the ice! Captured in Trollfjorden, Norway in 2020. Our initial plan was to go for a hike, but to our surprise the fjord was covered in ice. An excellent opportunity to go freediving presented itself. Quite the breathtaking view. One of many things to love about sailing and the ocean. You never quite know what awaits. An endless and diverse adventure it is. Freedivers @aksel.orstavik and @fabriceschnoller 📸 by @andreas.b.heide

One of many blue whale encounters during the Arctic Sense expedition this past summer. Once hunted close to extinction, but now showing signs of a slow and hopeful recovery. Read the story behind this image on @natgeouk now (link in bio), written by @hughfrancisanderson. Onboard crew @mark.romanov , @giulia_ercoletti @andreas.b.heide @zuzu_askin @ylvii and @tordkarlsen . New whale plans in the making, together with our scientific partner @whalewise 📸@tordkarlsen

When you are looking for polar bears in the pack i

When you are looking for polar bears in the pack ice at 80 degrees North, and stumble upon a white plastic barrel. Solution. Recover the barrel, bring it to mainland Norway, and start using it as an educational tool. Next use the barrel as part of the presentation for 400 school kids across the US and Canada with the help of @joegrabowski from the educational platform www.exploringbytheseat.com. Our goal is still to reach 200 000 school children with the Arctic Sense expedition. With this we are off to a good start. The 50 minute long presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyrs4IY7Duw

The situation was best summarized by a 4th grader from Glenview, Illinois: The most important thing that i thought was helpful was not to throw stuff in the ocean and recycle. Because then we can save the animals in it.

With these words we wish you all a great and plastic minimalistic weekend!
