Description

Arctic Passages: A Unique Small-Boat Voyage in the Great Northern Waterway256 pp. First edition. "In 1988, John Bockstoce, Arctic historian and archaeologist, became the first person to traverse the Northwest Passage west to east in a small boat. Arctic Passages is the extraordinary story of his voyage thirty-five hundred miles through this hemisphere's least explored and most dangerous waterway, from Bering Strait to Baffin Bay. Navigating largely without the benefit of a working compass, John Bockstoce made his way through thousands of uncharted islands along a shifting, featureless coastline, using the critical skills he had learned from years of working with Eskimo whalers." Includes black and white photographs.Keywords: ARCTIC PASSAGES NAUTICAL GREAT NORTHERN WATERWAY POLAR EXPLORATION POLAR EXPEDITIONS ADVENTURE FIRST EDITION JOHN BOCKSTOCE - from Amzon
