The Arctic – The Northwest Passage

Follow in the wake of Franklin and Amundsen and transit the Northwest Passage, the epic journey through Arctic Canada and Alaska. As Young Larry, a gaff-rigged yawl travelled Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Aleutian Islands I explored the landscapes, people, and culture of the Arctic. You may also like to view my account of my Northwest Passage Voyage aboard Young Larry for more information and images.
