Getting to the bottom of geoscience disinformation In 2022 the IPCC called out climate disinformation for the first time, noting a “deliberate undermining of science” was contributing to “misperceptions of the scientific consensus, uncertainty, disregarded risk and urgency, and dissent”. The spread of false and misleading information can erode trust in public institutions, governments, and the scientific community.

In 2024 alone, HX welcomed 80+ researchers aboard, spanning 1,900 cruise nights, and facilitated over 30,000 data contributions to more than 20 global CS projects. But how does this experience impact participants? A 2022–2023 study with the University of Tasmania found that many guests left with a deeper understanding of polar ecosystems and a greater sense of urgency about climate change. Despite this success, HX represents only 8% of the Antarctic expedition cruise market—meaning the potential for broader industry-wide collaboration remains largely untapped.
