The Polar Collective supports a range of projects that have been selected to fit into the unique modes of tourism operations in the polar regions. For all projects we offer in depth online training for guides from collaboration operators.

  • If you are a polar guide, please check with your operator on how to get access to our online training platform.

  • If you are a scientist with a research project which you feel may be well-suited to data collection by the expedition fleet, please get in touch with us.
