    Weren't you guys on a cruise to Alaska a while back? So you'll be going West => East as opposed to East=> West like Franklin. Will you be moorring above where the Terror was located? Be neat if they could drop down a submersible and you guys could have a closer look! ;-)

      Hope to be retracing the journey of Franklin in reverse. With any luck we'll be stopping off at three grave sites of the ill fated expedition. Thanks for following along

    I really look forward to following you on your journey. In August 2023, we're booked on the Fridtjof Nansen from Iceland to Nome (with a flight to Vancouver).

      So by sounds of it , tours that are offered by Canadian tour operators engage the Norwegians only ?
