Real Ice is designing systems to preserve sea-ice in key areas, to survive the summer months, using renewable energy
About us
Real Ice is seeking to utilise technology already in-use today to reduce the time needed to implement a renewable powered solution to Arctic sea ice melt. There are water pumps already in use today to generate ice for a variety of recreational and commercial purposes (such as platforms for oil rigs, ice pathways in Arctic regions & public ice rinks), although these are diesel powered. The innovation brought forward by Real Ice is in the combination of pumping technology, already used by many today, with the advancements made in the renewables and clean energy sector. We are using this to create a system that can be run solely from renewable energy sources and our primary challenge is to demonstrate the capability to scale this methodology. By doing this, we will encourage governments, large industrial partners and local communities to join us in shaping the way that this could benefit all life in the Arctic. The scope of Real Ice’s work is to prove out our technology at sufficient scale to ignite significant interest with governments, industrial companies and local communities to take the idea to the whole of the Arctic at massive scale. We hope to be a catalyst for the science and technology to be deployed by many large participants.

Our research partners are crucial to our operations out on the Arctic sea ice. We are grateful to the excellent teams at Ekaluktutiak Hunters and Trappers Organization in Cambridge Bay, Polar Knowledge & CHARS, The Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, The University of Washington and Arizona State University.

It takes a great deal of organisation, support, good will and partnership to get a fully kitted out team and all of their equipment out onto Arctic sea ice for several weeks of field studies. Thanks to the excellent teams at Polar Knowledge & the Canadian High Arctic Research Station, Canada Goose, DHL Express Canada and Buffalo Air for all your invaluable assistance in making this winter's studies possible.

Our 2025 field studies are underway. Nice! 🧊 ❄️
Excited to be back in Cambridge Bay for Real Ice on our third winter of field tests (T3). We are testing ice re-thickening as a method to preserve and restore Arctic sea ice. ❄️ This is already our second iteration this winter. In the first iteration, in December, the team did a great job! We already covered 21x the area covered last year, with 13x the volume of new ice. We've learned so much by starting earlier in the winter, and scaling up operations, and this will be valuable knowledge to optimise our plans going forward. Everything is ready for the rest of the team to join us tomorrow, so we can continue to make lots of new ice.

🎙️ We were excited to return for another interview on The Agenda with @georgia.tolley on @dubaieye1038fm! During the segment, hear @Andrea Ceccolini share more about the importance of sea ice and our field studies in the Arctic❄️ This was an excellent opportunity to shed more light on the importance of Arctic resilience—not just for the region itself, but for the global climate system. Andrea discussed the challenges of working in extreme conditions, the science behind our mission, and why this research matters now more than ever! 🎧 Tune in to the clip (from 41:00) below to learn how we are approaching one of the planet’s most pressing climate challenges. 🔗 Listen here: https://loom.ly/Nh6YVVc🧊 #seaice #arctic #preserveandrestore #ecosystem #restoration #realice #arcticseaice

🎙️ Real Ice on iHeart Podcast! ❄️ Real Ice was recently featured on The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin on iHeart from News Talks ZB! Our co-founder Simon joined the show to discuss our field studies in Cambridge Bay, the challenges of preserving sea ice, and how we are trying to contribute to furthering knowledge on sea ice thickening. ''Well, we're only doing research to gather data on the feasibility of restoring Arctic sea ice at scale. We are running small-scale tests. This is our third winter. We're based up at the Canadian High Arctic Research Station, which is an excellent facility in Cambridge Bay...we're not trying to win a race here; we're trying to contribute to solving a problem.''
