Description

"In this gripping first-hand account, four seasoned adventurers navigate a sophisticated, high-tech rowboat across the Northwest Passage. One of the "last firsts" remaining in the adventure world, this journey is only possible because of the dramatic impacts of global warming in the high Arctic, which provide an ironic opportunity to draw attention to the growing urgency of climate change."--;A last first -- It begins -- Stormy weather on the Beaufort Sea -- Tuktoyaktuk -- Dragging on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula -- Dear disaster on Franklin Bay -- Message in a bottle -- Paulatuk -- The beaches of the dolphin and Union Strait -- Escape to Victoria Island -- Ilira.
