Meeting the last guardians of the pole

With Sedna and in partnership with the community of Kullorsuaq, we are about to embark on a unique adventure, combining exploration, science and cultural immersion in the heart of North Greenland. This expedition will enable us to strengthen our bond with the inhabitants of this isolated region, while highlighting the importance of preserving their ancestral way of life and Arctic ecosystems.

With Sedna and in partnership with the community of Kullorsuaq, we are about to embark on a unique adventure, combining exploration, science and cultural immersion in the heart of North Greenland. This expedition will enable us to strengthen our bond with the inhabitants of this isolated region, while highlighting the importance of preserving their ancestral way of life and Arctic ecosystems.

One of the highlights of this expedition will be our meeting with the Kullorsuaq community. We'll have the opportunity to discover their traditional way of life, entirely in harmony with nature. With no motorized vehicles in this protected area, they continue to travel by dog sled and kayak, perpetuating age-old practices. Our exchanges with the locals will offer us a rare insight into their daily activities and the rituals of passing on knowledge from one generation to the next.

But this expedition is much more than just a voyage. It is also a concrete commitment to science and the preservation of the Arctic environment. By participating in scientific projects, we will contribute to a better understanding of biodiversity and environmental change in this fragile region. We'll be taking scientists on site, funding research and supporting concrete actions to protect this unique ecosystem.

This voyage will be a timeless experience, where the great comfort of Ponant ships will be combined with the authenticity of encounters and discoveries. We aim to make our passengers aware of the importance of protecting the planet, while offering a respectful exploration of local populations and the wilderness that surrounds them.

The Sedna expedition will be a profoundly human and scientific adventure, dedicated to preserving the beauty and wisdom of the Arctic for future generations.
