Portfolio of images from a series of historic voyages on the
National Geographic Explorer in the far north of the Canadian Arctic attempting to transit the famed
Northwest Passage. Escorted by the
Canadian Icebreaker Pierre Radisson, the
National Geographic Explorer successfully transited Bellot Strait before turning around in Franklin Strait after encountering extremely heavy, multi-year pack ice.
The
National Geographic Explorer also successfully navigated Fury and Hecla Strait, also with the aid of the
Pierre Radisson. Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic offers a series of exciting itineraries exploring the Arctic region.
