Keeping It Cool… Outside
Most people use their YETI Coolers to keep things cold. Beer and drinks on a hot summer day. The fresh catch on a fishing trip. Or even food for a long journey. When it comes to keeping the contents cold, our coolers out perform and outlast any other product. As the slogan says, “Wildly stronger! Keep ice longer!”. Ice in, heat out… OK, OK, you get the picture.
But what about keeping ice out? On a recent scientific expedition to the North Pole, that is exactly what a YETI Cooler did. The Catlin Arctic Survey set out to study ocean change at the North Pole as a result greenhouse gases. The mission brought together marine biologists, oceanographers and polar explorers to study the impact of increased carbon dioxide absorption by our seas.

Described as three of ‘the world’s toughest’ explorers, Ann Daniels, Charlie Paton and Martin Hartley reached the Geographic North Pole at on 12th May, ending a grueling 60-day trek across the floating sea ice of the Arctic Ocean.

The explorers have been collecting water and marine life samples from beneath the floating sea ice as part of the expedition’s leading edge science programme which is assessing the impact of carbon dioxide on the ocean and its marine life. They are using the YETI Coolers Tundra 45qt to store the seawater samples and prevent them from freezing. “It is critical that the water samples stay liquid. When the ambient air temperature is -45 this causes a significant technical challenge. ”

We are flattered that the Catlin Arctic Survey chose YETI Coolers as part of their expedition gear. We love the fact that one of our coolers has now been to the North Pole, adding another very cool stamp in the passport. To say the least, we are “on top of the world”. Special thanks to our exclusive distributor in Canada Underwater Kinetics, who supplied the Catlin Arctic Survey expedition with the YETI Coolers. They are a great partner to have.

"Having spent a lifetime using cheap coolers with hinges and fasteners that inevitably break, I'm glad to see that the YETI is built like the proverbial brick outhouse. There are 2 full inches of insulation inside the rotomolded body and lid. Hinges are recessed toavoid knocks, and the lid has a massive, freezer-type seal."

"YETI Coolers are superior ... from the hinges and latches to the tough-as-nails construction. Best of all, they keep everything colder, longer!

"I just received my Tundra 65 qt YETI!! I figured it would be built better than the competition, but I dint think it would be THIS STRONG. The handlesand hinges are great, the seal is superb. Hell, its built better than the 'fridge in my home!! We learned a tough lesson in Houston after Hurricane Ike. There's no such thing as too much ice chest. It's a fact, we may not haveanother hurricane for another 10 years...OR we may have a cat 5 NEXT YEAR, either way, I'll be better prepared with this YETI cooler."

"Ya'll build one tough cooler. I have a fishing camp on Big Lake in Hackberry Louisiana. When Hurrican Ike came through, we had 5 ft of water under the camp from the storm surge. I found my YETI a quarter mile away, some 100 yards back in a tallow tree swamp. Other than a few scratches, it cleaned up very well. I am very happy to have it back. Great product!"
