Navigating the New Arctic

Expeditions 003 and 004

Expedition 003 and 004 are complete and ArcticEarth has returned to Maine!  We are now announcing our expedition locations for next summer: (north to south in Greenland) Uummannaq, Disko Bay, Eternity Fjord, Ikka Fjord, Nanortalik, Cape Farewell, and the remote SE coast of Greenland! Bookings for 2023 (and 2024) are well underway. The northern summer is short. Travel logistics are set up early. Please let me know early what you are thinking.  

Expedition 002

Expedition 002 was with my production company Compass Light. After Expedition 001 with our partners at the Climate Change Institute (UMaine), we sailed to Qaqortoq to meet with the visionary and energetic Sarah Woodall (travel sector) and her team at INNOVATION South Greenland.  What a great town!

Expedition 001

ArcticEarth’s first charter is with the Climate Change Institute of UMaine, led by Paul Mayewski. Paul’s team’s goal over the next 10-11 days is to collect at least 50 coastal water samples in southwest Greenland, and define a baseline chemistry that will help Greenlanders and others track and understand future human impact in the area.

The 2022 Season Ahead

How does BLUE become YELLOW? Changing colors reveal stories. The cool deep BLUES of the Northwest Atlantic are the home waters of the s/v ArcticEarth. They are surrounded by the warmer YELLOWS and the hotter REDS. ArcticEarth’s winter port is in Maine, at the thermal edge, in the midst of severe and dramatic change. Just a few months ago (Sept, Oct, and Nov), this water temperature averaged 59.9°F, the hottest autumn in recorded history, more than 4°F above the long-term average.
