For two hundred years, expeditions left cairns so the next party would know the way.
Cairnbase is where your company leaves them now.

Every landing site, anchorage, route, and hard-won lesson — logged by your guides, vetted by your expedition leaders, and kept on one map that never retires, changes company, or walks down the gangway for the last time.

Request early access Built by working expedition leaders. Pilots begin with the 2026–27 season.

When an experienced expedition leader leaves, a library burns.

The anchorages that hold in a southerly. The route to the viewpoint that avoids the crevasse field. What to say in the Zodiac when the whales show up. Today that knowledge lives in personal notebooks and private GPX archives — and it walks out the door with every retirement, every transfer, every season. Your company rebuilds it from scratch, voyage after voyage.

The map

Every site your company knows

Landing sites, anchorages, starred routes, snorkel coves, protected-area boundaries — from a hemisphere down to a single beach, in one catalog your whole operation shares.

The well

Every visit, kept forever

Ship, expedition leader, tracks, timestamps, photos, hazards — logged in minutes, searchable for decades. The 2027 visit is right there when you return in 2033.

The briefing

Every guide, ready on day one

Site guidelines, species talking points, quick-hit field notes — vetted by your ELs. A first-season guide sounds like they’ve worked the site for ten.

Knowledge moves up, and stays.

Guides log itA track, a photo, a note — “downed tree on the overlook trail” — in five minutes, from the field.

Expedition leaders vet itApprove notes, star the company route, resolve the hazard when it clears. Trust is the currency.

The company keeps itAttributed, dated, and permanent. The well deepens with every voyage — and it belongs to you.

Your data stays yours. Walled company workspaces, full export any time, hosted in the EU. Guides keep their own field records; companies keep everything contributed to the workspace. No lock-in — the value is the depth of your well, not a locked door.
