Blue Marble Expedition Logistics works in some of the worlds most remote and pristine locations. We value freedom, exploration and the wilderness, yet we respect the planet we call home.


For these reasons and many others we named our company after the very planet upon which we explore, and gain inspiration from.



In 1968 Apollo 8 launched from the Kennedy Space Centre with three astronauts aboard. It was NASA's pioneering mission to orbit the moon.


As the third and final rocket boosters began burning, the Apollo 8 raced away from the earth. The crew focussed their camera through a small capsule window facing the planet they had just left.


The images taken by the Apollo Mission would change our view of Earth forever. It was the first time Humanity had seen its home from afar.


Apollo 8's images of Earth became known affectionately as the ‘Blue Marble’.

Subsequent Apollo missions provided us with full-color images of Earth, which began to foster a greater awareness of the need to understand our home planet.

This spectacular “blue marble” image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date.

“...a tiny, lovely and fragile blue marble hanging in the blackness of space...”
