Executive Friends

The Friends receive contributions towards our work in support of the Scott Polar Research Institute from many sources. Most of our support comes from individual subscribers but we also receive donations and support in kind from Trusts and companies towards specific projects or as sponsorship of Friends' events and activities, such as the publishing of our newsletter Polar Bytes. These supporting Trusts and companies are our highly valued "Executive Friends".

We are pleased to acknowledge the following amongst our current Executive Friend supporters:

Polar Latitudes

Polar Latitudes operates Antarctic adventures in comfort and style, aboard the all-suite sister ships, Hebridean Sky and Island Sky. We are proud to support the work of SPRI via our on-board auctions.

Ice Tracks Expeditions is a small and perfectly formed polar expedition company dedicated to making Polar Adventure Travel a life-changing experience. We work with the highest staff to passenger ratio and the best operator in the industry.
