Our mission

Polarquest is an international team of professional researchers, communicators and explorers with a commitment to the environment, research and education! Through our citizen science expeditions, we’ve given new insights into some of the greatest enigmas of science: from microplastic pollution to the origin of high energy cosmic rays. 

In addition, we are passionate about communication and education – sharing the impact of human pollution as well as the magic of our planet’s extraordinary natural phenomena.

A unique expedition and survey of the coasts of Greenland, visiting selected places in order to describe their unique environment and features. Several parts of Greenland are of volcanic origin, making them very interesting to environmental science. Their unique ecosystems can give clues to future development induced by climate change.

Due to its remoteness, probes from the shore and mountain lakes revealed unique data for understanding the transport of pollutants (especially micro- and nano plastics). These surface and sediment probes are from places never before visited by humans.
