Taking advantage of booking ahead to secure the best value flights, the ARG has made reservations for the seven strong expedition team that will head to Svalbard in late July and return to the UK in August. Whilst the full funding for the expedition is yet to be realised, the ARG is confident of their ability to secure the necessary resources to fulfil the expedition objectives and therefore took the decision at a recent meeting to proceed with making the flight reservations.
There is always a significance to the point at which funds begin to be committed to an expedition and this is being celebrated by the team who are excitedly looking forward to tackling their research work in the Arctic in Summer 2019.
