Ellesmere Island & Greenland
The High Arctic
16 days
16 - 31 August 2010Two countries, one midnight sun - the Arctic few have visited. Kapitan Khlebnikov will make its final call at Grise Fjord, during this expedition.
This amazing icebreaker expedition attempts to sail to the highest latitudes of the Canada Arctic into the Lincoln Sea. Landings are intended on Ellesmere Island, Greenland and Baffin Island. Traditionally, the Lincoln Sea is covered by the thickest ice in the Arctic Ocean. The ice can be up to 15 m thick, making navigation impossible, even for our polar-class icebreaker. in 2009, we look forward to attempting to sail as far into Robeson Channel and the Lincoln Sea as conditions permit.
In brief:
- Canadian High Arctic.
- Northern Greenland.
- End of an Era call at Grise Fjord.
- Baffin Island.
- Aerial sight-seeing.
- Attempt to reach 80°N.
