SUCCESS - Northwest Passage Expedition Team Reaches Cambridge Bay
Late this morning after traveling across the arctic ice for the last week from Kugluktuk and covering over 500 kilometers, the Northwest Passage Drive Expedition team arrived safely in Cambridge Bay on the south-eastern portion of Victoria Island. Never before has anyone driven this route, a portion of the Northwest Passage, in a road vehicle.
Along the way the team experienced highs and lows as the drive started off slowly, encountered a blizzard which kept them isolated in one location for a day and half and also had a the rear of the Moon-1 Humvee Rover briefly go through the ice.
They encountered scenery none of them have ever experienced and few have ever seen. They were not alone on their journey as flocks of birds could be seen at times.
This is an experience the team will remember for a lifetime and an accomplishment all should be proud of. Their experiences were documented for a film to come out later this year. We will post some of the images the team took and perhaps some short video in the coming days. Further updates will be posted as well in the coming days. For now the team is resting in Cambridge Bay.
