ABOUT
When New Zealander Graeme Dingle decided to attempt the first continuous circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle, he was looking for the ultimate adventure.
In 1992-93 Expedition Arktikos was to take its Kiwi and Russian participants from the coast of the Bering Sea across northern Siberia - in conditions that would daunt any but the hardiest - to Greenland, through the Northwest Passage to the Yukon and Alaska, and across the Bering Strait.
Using modern technology and knowledge, Arktikos did not compare with the heroic passages of the past, and in the event it was not continuous; but it did score some impressive achievements, including the longest continuous Arctic journey, the first transit of the Northwest Passage from Lancaster Sound to the Mackenzie River, and the first surface journey from Lancaster Sound to Siberia.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
