Catlin Arctic Survey 2010: It's all about the science
The Catlin Arctic Survey is about adventure, endurance, exploration... the list goes on. But, above all, the Catlin Arctic Survey is about science.
Catlin Group Limited sponsors the Survey because we believe we need more scientific facts about potential changes to our environment.

The most frequently asked questions about the Catlin Arctic Survey focus on food… and toilets.
Arctic research requires special equipment
The specialised nature of the scientific research conducted by the Catlin Arctic Survey requires special equipment.
Ice Base mascot plays vital role
The scientists and staff at the Catlin Arctic Survey Ice Base will work at the base for only several weeks at a time. But one member of the team will be at the base for the full two months. We’re talking about Brownie, the Ice Base canine companion.
