Abstract After its successful campaign of measurements beyond the Polar Arctic Circle, the PolarquEEEst experiment measured the cosmic charged particle rate at sea level in a latitude interval between 35 $$^{\circ }$$ ∘ N and 82 $$^{\circ }$$ ∘ N. In this paper, these measurements are described and the corresponding results are discussed.
