Our objectives, route and timing are being coordinated with the Canada C3 expedition project as we will be going to some of the same places.

Messages from Supporters...

On behalf of the Ambassador [of Norway] I would like to thank you for your information about the commemorative Arctic Expedition. As you know polar exploration holds a special place in Norway and is an important part of our national identity. We value the bonds that polar expeditions have created between our two countries through history and still do today.
I wish you the best of luck with this exciting expedition and will follow your website for updates.
Sincerely,
Jan-Terje Studsvik Storaas
