Arrival at Tower Bridge London in September this year, thus concluding the London chapter of the four month and 5000 nautical miles / 9000 km Arctic Sense expedition.

This photo is dedicated to our main partner TD Veen, as well as our official partner @summaequity that backed the project financially making it all happen. Both are green investments funds that we are proud to be associated with! Also, a special thanks to London’s Royal Naval Reserve Unit (@royalnavalreserve) for allowing Barba friend and photographer 📸 @conormcdphoto to capture this special moment.

With the grand opening of the Munch museum @munchm

With the grand opening of the Munch museum @munchmuseet.no this week, we bring the attention to our cartoon character that was introduced as a part of the Arctic Sense program in February this year (www.barba.no/impact/education/). The cartoon was drawn by Helen Munch-Ellingsen @helenmunch , descendant of the acclaimed painter Munch. The Barba crew cartoon character Staur is a curious orca that comes along on our journey. He will help us reach the youngest audience with engaging storytelling and an underlying conservation message. It´s also worth mentioning that Helen used to babysit both the Barba dog and captain, some decades back.

A moment of great anticipation and importance for the Barba crew.

While in Svalbard the team filled four @oceanbottle with Arctic seawater when they first hit the pack ice, North of 80 degrees. @andreas.b.heide envisioned gifting one of these bottles to a political leader in London as a thank you to the incredible cleanup of the Thames (now the cleanest river of a major city in the world). This came full circle by using an Ocean Bottle, reusable water bottles made of recycled plastic. By purchasing a single bottle, you fund the collection of 1000 ocean-bound plastic bottles in weight in costal locations around the world.

This idea became a reality this past week when Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy, Shirley Rodrigues, visited Barba in London. The team was able to share stories and successes of the expedition and gift the Deputy Mayor a bottle of Arctic water. We are very grateful that she took the time to visit Barba and we very much look forward to future conversations!

The day was made even better by sharing it with @rissyclark and members of both the @oceanbottle and @whalewise teams, seeing one another for the first time in person since the Arctic Sense expedition began.

The Jan Mayen Expedition is complete!

Despite strong prevailing winds and extreme weather, the team was able to summit Mount Beerenberg on the centenary of its first ascent. They also collected the world-first glacier samples to be tested for snow algae, ice algae and black carbon.

A huge thank you to all that made the journey possible. @hughfrancisanderson / @barbaboat will be publishing stories in the coming months with @natgeouk , @sidetrackedmag and @oceangraphic_mag about the expedition- so keep posted for more!

Look carefully at this photo.

At first glance this may just appear to be ice jetting out from the land, but looking closer you can see the polar bear curled up on the edge.

It is well known that polar bears have, and will continue to be highly impacted by climate change. Polar bears highly rely on sea ice for hunting their prey, as it melts, the bears are forced to stay on land more and more. Whilst land-bound it is much harder to catch prey, such as seals.

This symbolic photo shows the struggle of the polar bear, literally living on the edge of future survival.

While circumnavigating Svalbard, @andreas.b.heide

While circumnavigating Svalbard, @andreas.b.heide and @arzucan_askin filled up five @oceanbottle with seawater when they first hit the pack ice. Ocean bottles are made of recycled material and when you buy one, you fund the collection of 1000 ocean-bound plastic bottles in weight. These beautiful bottles make major steps towards a more sustainable planet.

Barba hopes to have the collected seawater analyzed for plastics and bring the bottles all the way to the end of the expedition in London. In London, they hope to gift a bottle to the Mayor of London as a symbolic thank you for the cleanup of the Thames.
