The Journal

Daily logs and observations from the dedicated crew aboard The Nanook provide a captivating glimpse into their journeys as they venture into the most remote territories of our planet.

Patagonia

Seeking Passage through the Andes.

In our tent that night we agreed we could not gain altitude readily with the sleds as heavy as they were. Mentally we created a list of food, fuel and gear that could be left behind in a cache. The next morning after yet another wet nigh...
