WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION

The path Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen
Sandy Shutler and Barbara Scott
Welcome to Greenland big boy.

Barbara Scott and Sandy Shutler took a doozie of a voyage from Greenland to Nome Alaska. They followed the path of Roald Amundsen, who was the first to transit the Northwest Passage in 1903-1905.  Their ship, the NG Resolution was the first through the passage this year and the 394th ship to ever complete the trip. Highlights included flora and fauna of the Arctic above the 70th latitude, and a peek into the lives and culture of the Inuits.
