Forel 2025: Closing a Remarkable Polar Expedition

Science 12.09.2025

Where science meets partnership: thank you to our sponsors!

As the Forel 2025 scientific expedition comes to an end, our crew and scientists reflect on weeks of exploration across Canada and Greenland. From navigating icy fjords to conducting field studies, the expedition has been a journey of discovery, collaboration, and unforgettable moments on board.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our major sponsors: Mercuria, SICPA, Villars Institute, Ferring, and Fondation du Domaine de la Villette, as well as to all our institutional, scientific, and communication partners. We are also deeply grateful to the local communities in Canada and Greenland for their warm welcome and collaboration throughout the expedition.

Over the final weeks, our cameras captured glaciers, fjords, and the smiles of crew, scientists, and Greenlandic communities—moments of exchange, learning, and shared discovery.

Now, FOREL sails back to France, where the story continues: data analysis, laboratory work, and preparations for the next expedition are already underway. The adventure is far from over, and we look forward to the next chapter of polar exploration.
