A voluntary-based crew of eight people under captain and writer Arved Fuchs is undertaking a sailing cruise on the traditional sailing boat “Dagmar Aaen” in the Arctic region, starting at Hamburg and visiting Iceland and Greenland, and the territories of Nunavut and Nunatsiavut. The goal is to raise awareness about the ocean’s health and to speak with and learn from the local communities at the ports that are visited. The team is getting scientific support from GEOMAR ocean research centre in Kiel, Germany. From the boat, oceanographic measurements are conducted on they way, including temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide and oxygen to learn about the status of the ocean. If the communities of the coastal states allow, the measurements will be made publicly available and can be tracked live by the community on https://beluga.geomar.de and free to use by anyone. The journey will take place between early August 2026 and mid-August 2026. Arrival and departure are depending on the weather conditions at sea. The boat is coming from Sisimiut, Greenland, before crossing over to Nunavut territory. The track then leads southward, calling port at Pangnirtung, with final destination at Bridgewater (Nova Scotia), where the ship will overwinter. The sailing journey will be continued in 2027, crossing the Atlantic to sail back to Hamburg.
