With the Northwest Passage still frozen in late July, the crew prepares for the journey in a small village in Greenland while awaiting the sea's thaw.
Legends of Food
The crew crosses Baffin Bay to uppermost Canada, where the Inuit village of Pond Inlet has a burgeoning tourist trade, thanks to global warming.
Wild Science

Arctic Exiles
The grueling journey is halfway through, but even with the ice now melting, the experience proves too much for some of the group.
Surviving Civilization
Along the Northwest Passage, a small coastal village proves that encroaching modern civilization and government domination don't always work.
Arctic Crossroads
By late August, the team is at the halfway point of its journey at Cambridge Bay, an ancient crossing place undiscovered until the 20th century.
Melting Land
Along the melting coastline, Tegnér and his crew see increased evidence of the effects of climate change when they observe the Arctic turning green.
Striking Oil
As the vessel enters Alaska, the wild quality of the terrain changes: Oil rigs and minerals illustrate the stark contrast between commerce and nature.
