DetailsAbout
The Students on Ice - International Polar Year Arctic Expedition is the most comprehensive Arctic expedition for youth ever undertaken. It will serve as a powerful and unique international platform to create change, inspire, educate, give cause for hope, and raise awareness globally about the impacts of Climate Change and other environmental issues facing the Arctic Regions.

The ship-based journey which will begin and end in Iqaluit, Nunavut will involve 75 international students, aged 14-19. The students will travel on this transformative adventure together with a team of world-renowned scientists, environmentalists, artists, journalists and polar educators.

Never has there been a more critical need to expose the youth of world to what is happening in the Arctic, the "canary in the coal mine" and cornerstone of our global environment, and to inspire them to be future leaders and stewards for our planet. Inspiring our youth, empowering their voice as a vehicle for change, and helping create a needed paradigm shift in our environmental ethos is just part of what we hope to achieve.
