Costa and Electric QT went to the Global Seed Vault in the afternoon. We couldn't go in (Costa gave the door a try) but it was still interesting to see the structure and get another view of Spitsbergen.

Hello from Longyearbyen, the largest town on the largest island Spitsbergen in the archipelago known as Svalbard. 

This morning, we had our Polar Bear safety briefing and logistics run through with our program coordinator Sarah and expedition leader Theres. They are AMAZING!

Tomorrow we board the Anitgua and head north. We caught a glimpse of our soon to be home on our walk back into town. It's the barquentine tall ship right in the middle. We'll be offline for two weeks...so see you end of the month!

We're very excited to have Cayber join us on our Arctic adventure. He arrived overnight via SF Express all the way from Shanghai! He is Charis' learning buddy--designed and made by her! I used to teach Charis but she now travels the world and her classroom is wherever she goes. She has shared her learning with me from her trips to Tasmania, Spain, Turkey, China, Japan... and we go on learning adventures around Hong Kong when she is back in town. Learn a little more about Cayber from his letter below. We need to go pack now!

    Hello!

    Glad you're joining us here. I'm an artist + educator learning and creating from the amazing things encountered adventuring in Svalbard in the high Arctic and around the world.

    The classroom explorers and I returned in July 2015 and they have now all headed back to their classrooms to share what they saw, discovered and learned.

    Have a look around to find out more about the adventurers and how we prepared for the expedition. You can read our Arctic trip log in order by starting with Day 0 in the categories section below. For pre-trip posts, use the Archives section and start with April 2015 : ).
