Donating money to the polar ship Polarstar is a contribution to preserving an important and vulnerable piece of history. It is a contribution to keeping alive the story of a vessel that has been part of Norwegian polar activities – with stories of courage, hardship, the urge to discover, and a life lived close to the powerful natural forces of the north.
Through Polarstar, new generations can gain insight into everyday life on board a polar ship, into the work that was done, and into the people who ventured into the unknown. These are experiences that say something fundamental about who we are, where we come from, and what kind of values have shaped Norwegian polar history. Without active efforts for preservation and dissemination, these stories risk becoming silent – and forgotten.
When you make a gift to Polarstar, you help keep history alive. You support the maintenance of the ship, the preservation of knowledge and documentation, and contribute to the stories being conveyed in a vivid and credible way to children, young people and adults alike. Both small and large contributions make a real difference.
Supporting Polarstar is not just a gift to the past – it is an investment in the future. A future where Norwegian polar history can continue to inspire, engage and give us a deeper understanding of the connection between humans, nature and responsibility.
