  Published on 26.03.2007 - The Arctic Arc

• A real battle

  Even with the 63 km she has already accomplished since her departure, Rosie Stancer evidently finds herself in another chaotic ice zone.

• Good progress for North Pole Quest

  Published on 23.03.2007 - North Pole Quest

  For several days now, the North Pole Quest team has been fighting winds and crossing, the best way they can, open leads. However, the men have been advancing at a good pace.

• One week in the city of Pangnirtung

  Published on 23.03.2007 - Global Warming 101 Expedition

  The city of Pangnirtung (meaning 'the place of the male caribou' in Inuktitut, one of the four Inuit languages) is an old whaling resort. Today it is the second biggest city of the Nunavut independent territory in Canada. It is situated on the Baffin island, facing the Baffin sea and Greenland, above the Arctic polar circle and 300 km away from the territorial capital of Iqaluit. With 1350 inhabitants, it is mostly a fishing city.

• A wonderful day

  Published on 21.03.2007 - The Arctic Arc

  Good weather has finally decided to follow the expedition. Yesterday, the first day of spring was a memorable day filled with beautiful sceneries.

• Arctic Arc: the sun is shining

  Published on 19.03.2007 - The Arctic Arc

  For the first time since their departure, Alain and Dixie have had a full day of sunlight. That said, it was still not possible for the two men to charge their batteries.

• Against all odds

  Published on 16.03.2007 - Mars North Pole Solo

  While Liv and Ann had to abandon their expedition due to serious frostbites, Rosie Stancer has had better chance. Despite the horrid progression conditions, she has gotten over the hurdle of the first few kilometres and is well on her way.
