"Pole Track is an international North Pole expedition setting out to support climate change research and to call attention to the changing Arctic and world climate. This expedition brings together a unique mix of experienced explorers and passionate professionals in the fields of science, nature conservation and sustainable development. The expedition will cross 1000 kilometers of Arctic Ocean to the North Pole. During this ski-trek the expedition will deploy a new generation of meteorological instrumentation and make daily readings of the snow cover. Pole Track will play an integral part in the running of scientific programs conducted by scientists and institutes around the world. The project aims to involve a broad audience in this challenging mission and to call attention for the solutions that will help to 'save our climate'."
