Testimonials

“This expedition has helped expand my horizons and discover many hidden passions. Our world is a unique and delicate place and our lives are all interconnected. On this expedition I learned the true meaning of adventure, curiosity and friendship. The memories I made and the knowledge I gained from Students On Ice will stay with me as I venture into the future. ”

“With programs like SOI, we have a chance at helping the world understand that the Arctic is indeed an early warning beacon and health barometer for the planet. As students andadults witness for themselves the dramatic changes during an SOI trip, they get a better appreciation of what it is we are all working hard to protect. We are counting on you to keep up the great work SOI!”

“It’s with pleasure the Makivik Corporation partners with the great work of the Students On Ice organization. I can’t think of a more rewarding way of spending time out on the land and sea and absorbing the wealth of information the adventure brings with it for our young people.”

“Students on Ice is an outstanding educational program. Just one of their shipboard expeditions to the Polar Regions equals two or three academic courses in a traditional university setting. The Arctic and Antarctic are where major changes in our global environment are first being seen. I am proud and honored to participate in this unique shipboard program.”
