While the wonderful journey of Shackleton to th...

Located some five hundred kilometres north of the arctic circle in the icy Chukchi Sea is the forlorn landmass of Wrangel Island. So remote and isolated is this frozen land that it was not properly mapped until the early 20th Century, and then inadvertently, when wildly over-optimistic explorers washed up, shipwrecked, on its shores. Named after Baron Ferdinand Petrovich Wr...

Travel to the high arctic and beyond. 2010 Adventure Cruise Guide. Monday, June 21, 2010. The North Pole Debate Still Rages.

Today, the Arktika's sister ship, 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years of Victory), makes annual sorties to the exact location of the geographic North Pole thanks to modern satellite navigat...

Travel to the high arctic and beyond. 2010 Adventure Cruise Guide. 2010 Adventure Cruise Guide. Is Adventure Cruising the Purest Form of ecotourism? It seems like only yesterday I was writing the introduction to the 2009 edition of the Adventure Cruise Guide.

Travel to the high arctic and beyond. 2010 Adventure Cruise Guide. Monday, June 21, 2010. Krassin to the Rescue. It was May 1928 and the age of the mighty airship.

Built in Britain in 1916 to a Russian design and originally named Svaytogor, ...
