This is what our expedition day on the ice looks like. With low temperatures of -30°C, a series of ice ridges ranging from 1 to 10 metres, open water and unique Arctic landscapes, our expedition is truly special because nothing in the ocean stays the same. Even the North Pole itself is just a moment in time. You will be the first person to set foot on it, but the ice is constantly drifting, so just a few minutes later, the others will find it in a different place.
