This icebreaker expedition traces the history of the northern peoples across 4,000 years, from Resolute to Iqaluit in Nunavut, Canada's easternmost territory in the North. Landings are intended on Ellesmere Island, Greenland and Baffin Island. An attempt will be made to sail the Lincoln Sea, covered in ice so thick even a polar-class icebreaker cannot crush its way through!
