Greenland 2007

June-July 2007

Using science and education, the Expedition’s goal has been to create awareness about global warming with an emphasis on the melting of Greenland's glaciers and pack ice in particular.

Our local goals

In July 2007, Sagax scientific and environmental eco-science team measured global warming impact on wildlife in the Arctic region of Greenland: Ivory Gull, polar bear, bowhead whale, lichen, etc…

We also reached the Top of Greenland (Highest peak in the Arctic), a symbol of Greenland’s shrinking ice-cap, while collecting lichen samples and censusing ivory gulls colonies in the peak’s region.

Reach the Top of the World: the Northernmost point of land on earth (this area, rich in flora and fauna which will be analyzed and measured, is particularly sensitive to global warming).

Antarctica 2003

July 2003

Freezing cold temperatures, immense landscapes, risky challenges and extreme isolation are only a few of the descritpions that apply to Antarctica, the ultimate frontier.

Luc Hardy and Larry Hunt embarked on a one-month journey from the comforts of their homes in Connecticut to the summit of Vinson Massif at 16,067 feet, the highest mountain in Antarctica. They explored, dreamed and discovered this fascinating continent as never before.
