WHY DO THE COSTS OF SOME EXPEDITIONS VARY FOR DIFFERENT TIMES OF YEAR?
In Europe, most people tend to travel during their traditional holiday period – June to September. However, for many expeditions, the research runs throughout the year, and hence expedition teams that run between October and May are at risk of being under-subscribed. We sometimes vary the amount of the contribution by season to encourage people to go on expedition teams during off-peak travel times, thus increasing the chances that these vital research projects get well supported.
