Nowadays the Arctic is one of the last
ecologically intact wilderness sanctuaries on our planet. The Arctic's
ecological balance, however, is extremely precarious.

Under the region's
extreme climatic conditions, animal and plant life exists on the verge of
their tolerances. Any interference by man in the region must be extremely
cautious and carefully considered because the consequences are much more
serious than elsewhere. With this in mind, Poseidon and MSCO ensure that
expeditions are arranged in a way that minimizes disturbance to wildlife
and the fragile natural environment of the Arctic.
Your safety is of paramount importance. Although any expedition involves
some degree of risk, our ship is certified by all international
organizations having regulatory authority for voyages of this type. The
crew and attending staff are experienced and qualified for operations in
the most challenging ice conditions.

Remote and difficult to reach, the North Pole has lured generations of
explorers on voyages full of adventure and discoveries. It is only at the
end of the second millennium that nuclear power has enabled man to reach
the top of the world without the dangers faced by earlier voyagers, yet
with all the spirit of adventure inherent in their quest. Who knows, maybe
at the end of the next millennium earthlings will also easily reach the
boundaries of the known universe and return home victorious as ever.

Poseidon is the only Russian company which, in cooperation with the
Murmansk Shipping Company, employs a most powerful icebreaker for arctic
voyages. All expeditions are served by the top class crews of the MSCO
along with a team of scientists, naturalists, lecturers, and guides.
