The latest ice buoy (white, in the middle) we left in the Arctic with many wooden FYB boats - at the North Pole. They have been drifting since the autumn of 2021. Photo: Espen Storheim, NERSC

Map by Espen Storheim, NERSC. Buoy data from the International Arctic Buoy Programme and sea-ice data from University of Bremen.
You can follow the paths the five buoys have taken since we left them on the sea ice in the Arctic (status: spring 2022). Each buoy has a unique ID number from the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) and the buoy data can be found here, just look for the correct IABP ID in the table there.
Our project data is organized in different categories
Interactive maps: You can explore the buoy tracks in the Arctic on these interactive maps.
Scientific data: You can see the changes in temperature, air pressure, distance, and speed of the buoys.
