when you look at the Arctic you know
it’s the world’s smallest ocean there’s
very little known about it and yet it’s
at the hub of all the world’s great
changes well the expedition is to bring
to light the value of remote regions in
the sea you name is sort of represented
here I always look at the Arctic as a
bit of a bellwether a sort of canary in
the cage in the mine letting us know
what’s happening in the rest of the
world Franz Josef land itself has this
compelling story it’s a place where the
biological diversity is not that high
you can go to the South Pole you can go
to Antarctica you can find rock and ice
again you won’t find polar bears there
you won’t find little locks there you
won’t find ivory gulls there it’s
important to preserve it because it is
an entire intact ecosystem that’s not
duplicated anywhere on this planet and
for all we know anywhere in the universe
some people admire medical missionaries
some people would Meyer astronauts or
Cowboys
I admire field biologists they are tough
people
they’re tough physically and they’re
tough intellectually at what they do is
very important and very interesting
this place is melting like a popsicle in
Arizona in the summertime you know it’s
it’s going very very fast and within all
of our lifetimes the Arctic will be
unrecognizable
so this expedition is setting out a high
standard top quality baseline which
isn’t just focused on climate and sea
ice but it’s focused across the whole
food chain protecting the waters around
franz-josef line is important because
the entire ecosystem depends on the
ocean
up here is a true wilderness where I can
experience a sense of freedom the sense
of dreams and possibilities and the
sense of engaging with nature that adds
to my lifestyle and let’s think about it
there are now 7.1 billion dollars we all
need to reconnect with the wilderness
it’s incredibly essential it’s and it’s
the human condition
we do need the work it’s in us we’re
human we are part of nature there aren’t
many true wilderness is left and feel
and indeed I hope that in years to come
activities in the Arctic will be steered
and mentored in many ways by the success
of this expedition
