COLLECT DATA LIKE A PRO,
EDUCATE LIKE A LEGEND.

The Polar Collective offers polar guides the chance to become part of a unified large-scale data collection network for polar science by engaging guests in hands-on citizen science initiatives.

Help scientists close critical data gaps to advance the protection of the polar regions and let your field experience shape the future of polar citizen science.

SCIENCE NEEDS YOU

SPARK CURIOSITY

Through citizen science, you provide your guests with an immersive educational experience, a deeper understanding of the polar regions, and instil a lifelong passion for positive change.

"It gives me such joy to be a part of the powerful concept of citizen science and connecting with polar scientists through supporting their data collection.

 

Citizen science creates educational opportunities for guests, facilitating a deeper understanding of the ecosystems, and the link of Antarctica to their very own backyards."
