đ So It begins!
After three years of preparation, training, and persistence, Matthieu Tordeur and I are finally setting off for Antarctica đŠđ¶.
 For the next three months, weâll travel more than 4 000 kilometres by kite-ski across the White Continent to carry out a scientific mission unlike any other, under the auspices of UNESCO for the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences.
đ Together, weâll scan the Antarctic ice with two Ground Penetrating Radars to better understand how the frozen heart of our planet is responding to climate change.
But Under Antarctica is about far more than adventure.
đđ©âđ«đšâđ« Through our educational programme developed with TĂ©moins Polaires, weâre bringing youth from around the world along with us â turning this expedition into a living classroom for the next generation of explorers, scientists, and dreamers. You can still sign up for the educational programme âĄïž https://www.underantarctica.com/en/education
Antarctica is the memory of our planet. What happens there will shape the future of us all.
