Gate to the Arctic is a non-profit run på Catharina Frostad and Jon Amtrup, host of this podcast. In June we filled Moondance, a beautiful Koopmans 56 from Moondance Expeditions, with youth, scientists, and storytellers and sailed North from Tromsø. We took samples of air, the ocean, freshwater lakes, snow, and fish on our way. We also collected nearly a ton of plastic debris on our way.

In this podcast you will hear more about Gate to the Arctic, our ambassador Anna Galli, and our Scientists Dimitri Deheyn and Marte Haave.
