With #Arctic sea ice tracking at record lows going into the summer melt season it’s a good reminder, I witnessed and documented the first great sea ice loss and tipping point 19 yrs ago #sailing the #NorthwestPassage

Model of a Norwegian Fishing Boat built in the 1870s on Hardanger Fjord. In 1903-1907 this was the first ship to transit the Northwest Passage, under leadership of Roald Amundsen. She is cutter-rigged with topsail, resting on calm water reflecting a partly cloudy sky.

Another view of the Gjøa model, all sails up and heading out on calm water reflecting partly cloudy skies.

After three years, my model of Roald Amundsen's Gjøa is finally completed and launched. Scratch-built at 3/8"=1' (or 1/32 scale). She's about 40" long. #Amundsen #models #boats #Northwestpassage

What Happened to James Knight’s 1719 Northwest Passage Expedition? James Knight’s 1719 Northwest Passage expedition wrecked at Marble Island in today’s Nunavut, where the survivors built a shelter and tried to overwinter. According to Inuit accounts later recorded by explorer Samuel Hearne, their numbers dwindled over two winters, and by the summer of 1721 all had died. The story is supported by Hearne’s interviews and by the remains of the ships and camp seen on Marble Island, rather than by any written message left by the crew.

A lost Northwest Passage voyage, a wreck at Marble Island, Inuit encounters, and a mystery that lingered for centuries—here’s what we now know about James Knight’s 1719 expedition. #HudsonsBayCompany #Inuit #JamesKnight #MarbleIsland #NorthwestPassage

Trump will use the Greenland argument to grab Canada's Northwest Passage A 1988 agreement between Canada and the United States about the sea lane left its legal status largely undecided, allowing both countries to assert their respective positions. But now, thanks to US Pr...

This argument seems reasonable. That's why the #canadian #government should send a token #military force to #greenland now in support of the #nato forces already already in place.

This expedition got lost, but the following numerous search expeditions explored and mapped the Arctic Archipelago. Captain McClure of #HMSInvestigator (with the interpreter #Miertsching on board) found the #NorthwestPassage in 1850.

International voyages on the Northwest Passage in 2025 | Aker Arctic Tuomas Romu from Aker Arctic continues to monitor international voyages along the Northwest Passage. This year’s transit season was shorter than in 2024, beginning slightly later and ending earlier.

13 ships completed the full route along the #NorthwestPassage, with 3 making a round trip within the same season. Of these transits, 9 were westbound (3 cargo ships and 6 cruise ships), and 7 were eastbound (2 cargo ships, 4 cruise ships, and 1 tanker). #arctic
