Matthew Moore has just released this article, about Pen Hadow and The Catlin Arctic Survey, on the Telegraph online.

Explorer Pen Hadow will this week embark on his most arduous expedition, a three-month scientific mission to the North Pole that he says will “almost certainly be my last adventure to the Arctic”. (more…)

We have just received images directly from the Catlin Arctic Survey Team whilst they complete their preparations before embarking on the expedition at the end of next week.

Enjoy the images and also pay particular attention to the skis that the team is using for the survey . . . .

Pen Hadow, Ann Daniels and Martin Hartley plan to embark next week on the 1,300-kilometer (800-mile) journey, taking as many as 13 million ice-thickness measurements on the way to the pole. Their goal is to help project when global warming may melt the entire Arctic Ocean cap, triggering further temperature rises and endangering polar bears. (more…)

Three polar explorers, Pen Hadow, Martin Hartley and Ann Daniels will be leaving from Heathrow Airport, London, today to embark on a scientific survey of the Arctic Ocean’s floating sea ice.

Hadow’s endeavour  has HRH The Prince of Wales as its Patron and the support of WWF. The data they will capture is eagerly awaited by scientists studying various aspects of the Arctic and global warming. (more…)

There was just time in a hectic schedule of preparations for the Catlin Arctic Survey for explorer Pen Hadow and the Catlin Arctic Survey team to stop for a drink before their departure to Canada on Tuesday evening.

Naturally they had to choose an ice bar for their last drink. (more…)
