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.
