POLAR POD
The Polar Pod expedition is a zero-emission, ecological vessel designed by explorer Jean-Louis Etienne to explore the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica. It is the planet’s main oceanic carbon sink and a gigantic reservoir of marine biodiversity that is still poorly understood. This expedition is a first for this Ocean, which has never yet been the subject of this type of research.
The Polar Pod is fitted with highly powerful instruments, making it possible to collect a continuous stream of precious date on biodiversity, current dynamics, the impact of human pollution and the atmosphere-ocean interactions which control the climate. This data will be made available to the international scientific community.
“To dare is to push one’s imagination beyond certainties and known limits; it is also about creating opportunities to listen and share with those who dare with you. And Hublot dares. Sharing technical information, technological research and with Hublot's assistance, generating media visibility will contribute to the expedition’s success. The data and observations will be made available to the entire international scientific community. ”
