Movie backdrop

This is a documentary about the expedition of Sebastien Roubinet et Rodolphe AndrĂ© who have decided to cross the Arctic Ocean from Alaska to the Norwegian islands of Spitsbergen, via the geographic North Pole! For this, SĂ©bastien Roubinet has invented a strange little boat "TiBabouche" capable of sailing on sea and on ice. This boat is a prototype brimming with technology and science, made-up by HervĂ© Le Goff, a CNRS engineer. It will allow HervĂ© to calibrate the satellite “Cryosat”, the first one capable of measuring the thickness of ice.
