The Arc­tic Cent­re of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Gro­nin­gen (The Net­her­lands) is plan­ning a sci­en­ti­fic expe­di­ti­on to Edgeøya during 10 days in late July/early August 2014 with MV Ort­eli­us. The expe­di­ti­on is open for sci­en­tists, artists and polar enthu­si­asts. The expe­di­ti­on is orga­ni­zed by, among­st others, Maar­ten “Mr. Bar­na­cle Goo­se” Loo­nen from the Arc­tic Cent­re in Gro­nin­gen, also lea­der of the Dutch sci­en­ti­fic sta­ti­on in Ny Åle­sund.

The expe­di­ti­on is fol­lo­wing his­to­ri­cal foot­s­teps: in 1968-69, Dutch bio­lo­gists spent a year at Kapp Lee on Edgeøya.
