To rethink the world, we need to understand it. And to understand it better, we need to change the way we explore it.

WE LOVE WHAT AMAZES US AND WE PROTECT WHAT WE LOVE
Rather than exploit, let’s put humanity and science at the heart of exploration
SEDNA offers its expertise to turn your expeditions into a real mission.
Each SEDNA expedition is built with scientists and indigenous communities.
Each participant must adhere to the fundamental values and rules of the SEDNA spirit of exploration.
EXPLORATION
Because experiences stretch the borders of your reality
Exploring to create a unique experience, marvelling at the best that nature has to offer, facing the unknown and the unexpected, confronting a dominant nature.
Explore to discover and learn about other cultures and environments. Explore to rediscover and appreciate the world through the eyes of the child you were.
SCIENCE
Because science is everyone’s business
Whether academic, civic or participatory, it raises the spirit, sharpens curiosity, teaches us to question ourselves and guides each of SEDNA’s missions.
To contribute to research on ocean and cryosphere changes, by promoting cooperation between public and private actors and local communities.
The scientists supported by our missions will share their knowledge.

Natives peoples, the beleaguered guardians of global biodiversity
Our missions are designed according to models developed in direct collaboration with local communities.
Their know-how, their experience, their way of life as well as their adaptation to the local environment are a great source of inspiration.
SHARING
Alone we go faster, together we go further
Explorers, scientists and local guides work together as a team.
Everyone in his or her role exchanges ideas with everyone else in order to contribute and further the mission.
UNDER THESE EXTREmE LATITUDES, THE POLAR WORLD TAKES OVER AND mUST BE RESPECTED
