The Students on Ice Foundation and the Nordic Council of Ministers are bringing together a Nordic and international community of young people on a fully funded North-to-North expedition from Nuuk to Iqaluit from July 6–22, 2026.
A Nordic youth will join an international cohort of young participants on an expedition alongside 35 scientists, educators, and Indigenous knowledge holders. Together, 60 young people will travel from Nuuk, Greenland, to Iqaluit, Canada, exploring the region’s ecology, cultures, societies, and governance while focusing on shared Nordic priorities: sustainability, equality, resilience, and regional cooperation.
The North-to-North Mobility expedition aims to foster intercultural understanding, inspire young people to amplify Nordic perspectives, and contribute to achieving the goals of Nordic Vision 2030. On Friday, the participants will arrive in Nuuk before embarking on the expedition aboard the MV Ocean Nova. The voyage will take them to Qeqertarsuatsiaat, Paamiut, Arsuk, across the Davis Strait, to Torngat Mountains National Park and Monumental Island, before reaching the final destination of Iqaluit.
The 2026 Students on Ice Expedition also celebrates the 30th anniversary of Nordic Arctic cooperation – a milestone warmly welcomed by NAPA.
