Northern Passage 2010 – the Route
On Midsummer’s Eve, Børge Ousland and Thorleif Thorleifsson sailed from Oslo, in a daring attempt to sail through both the Northwest and Northeast passages during one and the same season. As soon as they rounded the southern tip of Norway, they charted a northerly course up along the Norwegian coast. This, of course, has merely be a prologue to the challenges that await them. Can their trimaran survive the challenge of ice-filled Arctic waters?
The months to come will surely be exciting! We will be bringing you daily reports and photos from the expedition.

NB! Here is a comprehensive presentation of Børge and Thorleif’s expedition, their vessel, and highlights from the story of those who have sailed these waters before them.
This is the route that Thorleif and Børgen will be sailing.
