What Our Clients Say

“Ultimately, the survey exceeded expectations and included major successes such as mapping to the faces of several major marine-terminating glaciers.

Of these, the collection of data in Upernavik Fjord stands apart as a particularly remarkable achievement given the exceptional challenge of safely navigating the extremely heavy ice conditions caused by the fjord’s numerous calving glaciers. “
