This month I’ll be heading to Nunavut for the fourth and final ski journey of the B.I.G. (Before It’s Gone) Arctic Research Expedition. This time the aim is to get out onto proper Arctic Ocean pack ice to collect samples of snow, ice and water for black carbon, microplastic and heavy metal studies as well as data logging of Arctic Clouds, albedo, and snow depth. Team member Laura will be conducting work around psychology in extreme environments and we’ll also be reporting wildlife sightings.
Anthony at zerosixzero has once again created a fantastic interactive map for us which will display our progress as well as allow us to share voice blogs and images in real time. You can find the map on our website here: https://www.bignorthpole.com/track-expedition
