Led by the polar explorers, the Norwegian Børge Ousland and the Frenchman Vincent Colliard, IceLegacy aims the crossing the 20 largest ice fields on earth bridging adventure, science and awareness on glaciers conservation.
Airbus supported several expeditions with SPOT 6/7 images to prepare the road on the ice fields and avoid crevasses but also to continue their progress without visibility in the mist or the blizzard.
By collecting samples on these extreme territories, Icelegacy contributing to several scientific studies. Glaciers are in fast decline due to rising temperature and they are crucial as a fresh water source for millions of people worldwide.
