Cape Farewell launched its first international Youth Expedition on Sunday 9th September at Southbank Centre. Hundreds of well wishers cheered the twelve students on their way, as the expedition launched on the Thames to a brass fanfare from the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Embarking on a landmark arts, science and media project, the students will voyage from Longyearbyen to the frozen extremes of Spitsbergen, Svalbard in the High Arctic.

Had a great day at the launch, it was fantastic to send off Jethro and his fellow adventurers in such style! I felt very proud and wiped away a tear (mums are allowed to!) as they sped up the Thames, flags flying, accompanied by fanfares and cheering.
I really liked the launch. I had a fun day in London and liked watching them on the boats. I will miss you jethro.
