Arctic Sunrise is a tough girl, the ship’s designed as an “icebreaker” with a rounded keel-less hull, this allows her to navigate through sea ice. In 1997, the Arctic Sunrise became the first ship to circumnavigate James Ross Island in the Antarctic, a journey only made possible by climate change after a 200m thick ice shelf connecting the island to the Antarctic continent collapsed.

Her name Arctic Sunrise fits perfectly as a vessel description, the Arctic Sunrise has made multiple journeys to the Arctic Circle, including visits to Alaska, Norway, Russia, and more to oppose and bear witness to environmental destruction at the hands of the oil industry.

Around the globe in Southern Oceans the Arctic Sunrise, along with its sister ship the Esperanza, thwarted Japanese attempts to pursue its so called – “scientific” whaling program. It also chased pirate vessels fishing illegally for Patagonian Toothfish to the pirate port of Mauritius. Amen for these captains and crews, with big balls and no fear factor to save our living natural habitat and sea animals.
