The Polar POD expedition aims to explore the immense Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica. It is an ambitious oceanographic campaign, with a scientific and educational vocation, to discover this turbulent ocean, the famous "Furious Fifties" still unknown.

It will allow, among other things, the acquisition of unpublished data that will be accessible to the entire international scientific community.

The explorer Jean Louis Etienne and his team will try to push the limits of science by carrying out this expedition thanks to the Polar POD: a vertical ship with zero emissions.
