Brief history of the Arctic Sunrise ship
The first witness of climate change in glaciers, Greenpeace’s iconic ship Arctic Sunrise, with the first name “Polarbjorn”, was built by “Vaagen Verft” in Norway. It was later operated as a seal hunter and supply ship. Ironically, before he joined the Greenpeace fleet, he encountered Greenpeace activists on behalf of the French government while carrying materials for the construction of an airstrip affecting penguin habitat in Antarctica.
Greenpeace purchased Arctic Sunrise in 1995 as Arctic Sunrise Ventures Ltd, because the Norwegian owners of the ship were determined not to sell it to Greenpeace.
The ship was re-equipped with advanced communication systems, a helicopter landing platform and a helicopter lift in the ship’s mid-hold. His first voyage took him to the North Sea and the Northeast Atlantic;
In 1997, when the 200-metre-thick ice shelf connecting the island to the Antarctic continent collapsed, he made the once impossible journey to James Ross Island in Antarctica. It was the first ship to circumnavigate. This was just one of many climate change signs the ship helped document, and in 2009 it worked for months on Greenland’s Arctic sea ice coast to document the effects of climate change in the region.
