Bermuda-based property-casualty insurer and reinsurer Catlin Group Limited announced today it is sponsoring a scientific expedition to the Arctic to take sophisticated samples and measurements to help the study of global warming on the ice cap.
The company said the project–to be known as the Catlin Arctic Survey–will be led by British explorer Pen Hadow.
Team members will be pulling their sledges and even swimming between ice floes from late February to the end of May 2009, the announcement said.
