Video: Night sailing through the ice


In the dark of night, on the Chukchi Sea off Wrangel Island, three men steer

Expedition Report, 09.57 CEST:
“We are still fighting headwinds. Will try to go south to catch some better winds and get across to Alaska, then following the coast up. That’s the plan – and we keep on fighting, as always.”
