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.
