Arctic expeditions

Arctic expeditions refer to journeys undertaken to explore, study, or navigate the Arctic region, characterized by extreme weather and ice-covered landscapes. These expeditions have historically aimed to discover new routes, research climate and wildlife, and gather knowledge about indigenous cultures. Notable expeditions include those by explorers like Sir John Franklin and Robert Peary. Today, scientific missions focus on understanding climate change and its impacts on polar ecosystems. Arctic expeditions often involve specialized equipment, teamwork, and extensive preparation due to the harsh conditions and remote nature of the environment.
