How can we build ships that are strong enough to handle the toughest seas and the thickest ice? What can we learn by closely monitoring the S.A. Agulhas II as it travels through both these environments? Let’s ask Endurance22 Expedition members Dr. Annie Bekker (Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa) and Dr. Jukka Tuhkuri (Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Aalto University in Finland), both of whom have been doing just that throughout the expedition journey thus far. After you meet Drs. Bekker and Tuhkuri, you’ll never look at ships the same way again!
