Arved Fuchs: OCEAN CHANGE between the Arctic and Antarctic
Arved Fuchs is a famous German adventurer. He has travelled the world - especially the oceans - for more than 45 years and he does this in a very powerful way. He is the first person to reach the North Pole and the South Pole by foot within one year. He rounded Cape Horn in a folding boat and crossed Greenland with sledge dogs in 70 days. Most of his expeditions have taken place either in the Arctic or Antarctic or on board his 92-year-old fishing vessel DAGMAR AAEN. The footage of one of these expeditions just went viral on TikTok. In this podcast, Arved regularly shares his adventures on board Dagmar Aaen. www.arved-fuchs.de. www.baerbel-fening.de
Arved Fuchs: OCEAN CHANGE between the Arctic and Antarctic
Norway's West Cape: With the Dagmar Aaen through Rough Seas
In this episode, Arved Fuchs shares his journey with the Dagmar Aaen through Stadthavet, one of the most treacherous sections of the Norwegian coast near the Stadlandet peninsula. This area is notorious for its dangerous cross seas caused by conflicting currents, and it's said that over 50 shipwrecks lie on its seabed.
Due to the perilous nature of this region off Norway's West Cape, the government is planning to build a ship tunnel to make the passage safer, as Arved Fuchs explains in the episode. He also discusses his visit to the Hardanger Maritime Center in Norheimsund, where the focus is on traditional crafts and historic ships, and his time at the Norwegian Maritime Competence Center in Alesund, which is preparing for rising sea levels and the impact of climate change on Norway's extensive coastline.
