This summer Polar Bear was proud host to an intrepid film crew from NRK (Norwegian Television). Their task was to get to Jan Mayen by any means and make a documentary about the most inaccessible of Norwegian Islands - Jan Mayen.
Naturally, the best way of getting boxes of camera equipment, two cameramen and a lovely TV presenter 500 miles out to Jan Mayen would have been a supply ship or even a Herculese aircraft. However, this team chose a far more adventurous (and more carbon friendly) option. Joining an 'Eco Expeditions' mountaineering trip they found themselves earning a hard passage out there onboard Polar Bear.
Somehow, despite pitching seas and a very short time ashore, they created a fantastic documentary which you can view by following this link... NRK Jan Mayen
Well done guys! It was great to have you onboard...
