What is PolarQuest 2018?

PolarQuest 2018 is a polar expedition involving exploration and adventure, science and history and a powerful message for the planet – powered by B&G electronics. From July to August 2018, an international team of arctic researchers, experienced scientists and young future scientists will travel to the Arctic sea on board Nanuq, a 60 feet sailboat designed and built for self-sufficient Arctic sailing. The voyage starts from the North-West coast of Iceland to reach the Svalbard archipelago, above the Artic Polar Circle, circumnavigate it and finish the expedition in Tromsø (Norway). The mission: to find answers to one of the greatest challenges of our time, climate change, and raise awareness about its consequences. Polarquest2018 takes inspiration from the very first scientific expedition to the North Pole, the ITALIA Airship, the very first airborne scientific laboratory led by Air Force General and Airship engineer Umberto Nobile in 1928.
