Journeying to the Ice at the End of the World

The North of Scotland Branch of The Nautical Institute is pleased to host its next technical seminar on the theme of Arctic ice navigation.

 

About the Speaker - Capt Maiwenn Beadle MNI (Master 3000, Ice Pilot & Polar Explorer)

With 35 years of yachting and expedition cruise vessel experience and 12 years specialising in Alaskan and Northern Arctic waters, Captain Beadle's experience is off the charts - literally.

For the last eight years, she has been running icegoing yachts in the High Arctic - making expeditions to the very top of the world, exploring the difficult waters of the Northwest Passage (three times), and taking a scientific expedition into the uncharted fjords of East Greenland on the 72M A1 Ice Classed Nansen Explorer.

She is not only a seasoned Ice Pilot who loves mentoring and sharing her knowledge, but a highly experienced Master Mariner and natural explorer following in the wake of heroes.  She is a proud member of The Explorers Club, whose alumni range from Ernest Shackleton to Buzz Aldrin and Jane Goodall, is a Member of and holds Level 2 Ice Navigator Certification from The Nautical Institute.
