Update : science on board (November 13, 2018)

The passive igloo provides logistical support, a base camp and floating laboratory for researchers motivated by an interest in research in the Arctic regions, whether for scientific stays in otherwise inaccessible places, navigation or during the the winter, when the boat is caught in the ice.

Wintercamp in Fjordcamp (October 29, 2018)

The season is coming to an end.

After a short autumn cruise, Nanuq has arrived in her winter camp in the dazzling Vesteralen, not far from the Lofoten Islands. The first ice covers the fjords, the sky is clear and while the low sun still warms at noon, the nights are crisp with temperatures close to -10 °C.

We are warmly welcomed in Fjordcamp where our place is reserved to spend the winter. The site is well organized with cozy cottages and hot showers. The reception is very warm. We are surprised to see no visitors in this fantastic season of colors and change.

After five days of setteled weather and sunshine, it is snowing. Nanuq is waiting for the adventures and projects to come. She is counting on you!

CERN photo exhibition (September 21, 2018)


Sustainable development, hepia (September 20, 2018)

Back from the Arctic expedition, the opportunity was given to share the observations made on Nanuq at the edge of the Arctic ice shelf and to raise awareness of a major environmental issue. During a week dedicated to sustainable development, a student workshop focused on microplastics. Below an installation made by the students from waste collected during an observation and cleaning campaign on the banks of the Rhone: the problem has no borders!
