Arctic Frontiers 2025's scientific theme on the Environmental Impacts of War saw the Tirpitz Site Project team joined by colleagues from the REMARCO Project, the Tangaroa Project, and other colleagues. Through sharing experience and expertise, they enhanced their endeavors to remediate the harm from past conflicts - and spoke to a wide audience at the conference. This year, UiT Environmental Humanities colleagues offered their insights, and were joined by colleagues from Polar Educators International. Prior to the conference sessions, there was a Tirpitz salvage site visit, and then a dinner hosted by Lloyd's Register Foundation: Project Tangaroa and Potentially Polluting Wrecks – co-hosted by Waves Group and The Ocean Foundation. After the cold and windy site visit, the dinner proved to be a warm and welcoming event.
