Explorers Club members Catharina H. Frostad, Martin Halvorsen and I, Jon Amtrup, talk about our non-profit organization Gate to the Arctic which will set sail to Bear Island in the middle of July to do research, collect marine litter and lay the groundwork for the 2022 edition where we will bring young people from all over the world to the very same Island - in an effort to make them Arctic Ambassadors and storytellers to save the Arctic Ocean.

Please check out Gate to the Arctic and the crowdfunding site we have created. Please share and join us.

If you need information about sailing in the high latitudes check out the book I wrote with Bob Shepton: High Latitude Sailing - Self-sufficient sailing techniques for cold waters and winter seasons.
