ArcticEarth

The Arctic is undergoing dramatic and irreversible change, traceable to climate. "What happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic.” The cooling Labrador Current is weakening. Consequently, the neighboring Gulf of Maine is warming faster than 99% of the world's oceans. This is just one of multiple vital connections between "Arctic" and "Earth."

Compass Light has witnessed these linkages in the course of producing over 30 high-latitude films, set amidst the ice, stone, and water of this very elemental and very planetary part of the planet (see list below). We are currently developing several more.

ArcticEarth Expeditions is a 6-year commitment by Compass Light Productions to position a vessel and a professional crew in the new Arctic, extending three decades of filmmaking work in the area. The 56′ vessel and crew are also available for full vessel charter by other media-makers, field researchers, & small private groups.  For more info, visit ArcticEarth Expeditions

Current organizational partners are Conservation Media Group, BlueMarvel, Climate Change Institute (CCI) of the University of Maine, World Ocean Observatory, and the Arctic Futures Institute. We are actively seeking additional media, research, and community collaborators.
