The polar regions<\/b> are relatively unexplored areas and key fields of study for research in glaciology<\/b>, oceanography<\/b>, animal biology<\/b>, chemistry<\/b>, atmospheric science<\/b> and human sciences<\/b>. The North and South Poles are very difficult to reach, posing a financial, material and logistical challenge for research centres, which mainly invest in on-site scientific bases<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Given these constraints, trips to the Poles<\/b> have been crucial for research<\/b> since the beginning of polar tourism in the 1930s. They enable scientific projects to be rolled out<\/b> and draw the attention of patrons and the general public to the importance of studying these extreme regions. The regular rotation of expedition ships provides an opportunity to establish long-term protocols for collecting targeted scientific data<\/b>, checking its repeatability, comparing it and more. These opportunities make data collection for scientific purposes possible.<\/p>\n

PONANT has been involved in this effort from the beginning by taking scientists<\/b> and naturalist guides<\/b> with them, who then share their expertise<\/b><\/a> with passengers<\/b> to raise awareness of the need to protect these fragile environments. However, by designing a ship to be a scientific platform from the outset<\/b>, the company is going one step further. Le Commandant Charcot<\/i><\/a> is one of the only French icebreakers with onboard research facilities<\/b>, including wet and dry labs, sonars, beacon-buoys, a salinometer, a corer and a drone.<\/p>\n

Travellers to the polar regions<\/b> are often willing to help the scientists with their missions<\/b>. As such, several companies offer citizen science workshops<\/b> organised by onboard teams of naturalist guides. These workshops let passengers collect additional data, which is then used and published by researchers. There is a whole host of applications for this, including, for example, Happywhale<\/i><\/b> <\/a>(marine mammal identification), phytoplankton sampling<\/b> and cloud observation for NASA<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Taking part in these workshops allow you to discover the scientific approaches<\/b> and daily life of a researcher in the field. Passengers relate much more to the environment and are much more motivated to protect it when they are directly involved in collecting scientific data.<\/p>\n

Through lectures, discussions and observations with scientists and naturalist guides, passengers discover the many facets of the polar regions<\/b> and the threats they face<\/b>. Protecting an environment, region, or species starts with gaining knowledge to better understand it. Everyone who goes on a polar cruise returns as an ambassador for these regions, with a wealth of knowledge and experiences gained from a meaningful journey<\/b>.<\/p>\n
