SPIRIT OF THE EXPLORER
ALAIN HUBERT
Arctic Ocean Traverse-North Greenland, 2007:
Three hundred miles from the nearest land, the Arctic Ocean laps at the edge of the sea ice, only yards from Alain Hubert's feet. While previous explorers encountered ice many metres thick, Hubert finds only water where the ocean should normally be frozen into a thick multi-year ice pack. Dogged by anomalous sea ice conditions, Hubert is repeatedly forced to find an alternative route across the now open waters. Still 120 kilometres from his goal, each new discovery of fractured ice leads him to fear for the worst.
14 June 2007: Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer's 106-day crossing ends, but the journey is far from over.
Hubert continues his quest to find the cause of this change in the ice.
