TROMSØ, Norway, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 18th, 2022, a group of Swiss and American explorers will untie from Old Harbor in Tromsø to embark on a carbon-neutral two-week exploratory journey across the Barents Sea. Guided by legendary skipper Rasmus Jacobsen, the crew will sail the S/V Linden, Scandinavia's largest sailing vessel, to the Svalbard Archipelago, one of earth's most fragile and at-risk ecosystems. The wind-powered three-masted schooner will allow the group to move quietly, employing a "leave-no-trace" philosophy, entering a region controlled by no nation, where polar bears, bearded seals, and beluga whales rule.

Key Points: 
  • Simultaneous with the group's departure will be the release of the world's first exclusive NFT auction of Expedition Tokens, designed by Rara Data, an Australia-based company that recently produced (and sold out) NFTs for several international brands.
  • The carbon footprint of the expedition will be offset by Aerial, an official partner for the expedition.
  • The Svalbard expedition marks the first journey in a series of Expedition Token projects, as creators embark on human-powered journeys to bear witness to and make a record of at risk-ecosystems across the planet.
  • Expedition Token is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that partners with elite expedition teams built out of frontline scientists, artists, and seasoned adventurers.
