Crossing the Northwest Passage through Greenland
August 28, 2013 - Disko Bay, Greenland: A cargo ship sailing Disko bay with floating icebergs. Since winning his second term as president of the United States in November 2024, Donald Trump has been publicly stating his interest for the United States to annex the ice-covered Danish territory of Greenland, the largest island in the world. Sliding like a snake thru the ices of the North, the Northwest Passage has been considered a deadly trap for years. Today, the Compagnie du Ponant, a French cruise ship operator, navigates it from Greenland to Russia, with its luxury ship Le Soleal. Navigators have been exploring this wonderful shortcut to the Orient for over 500 years. Ice, and wind froze most of the expeditions. In 1847, John Franklin disappeared in the Passage somewhere near Victoria Strait. As expeditions were sent to look for Franklinís body, the Passage ended up being mapped. In 1906, Amundsen finally sailed thru. Over the years, the Wild West was being civilized, and the Far North became Americaís final frontier, the ultimate space for human progress. Global warming melted the ice by the years 2000, and the Passage turned navigable from summer to fall. Some predict it will be navigable all year in 2020. The opening of the Passage raises considerable strategic and economic questions. The shortest route to Asia, will bring strong competition to the Panama and Suez canals. Since the 1960s, oil has been discovered in Alaska. The Arctic could also be a precious reservoir of gas and zinc. Therefore the Passage is coveted by Denmark, Russia, USA, CanadaÖ and the tourism industry. Until now, most visitors would board a Russian icebreaker to embark on a trip that looked more like an expedition than a cruise. But slowly, the Northwest Passage will become the equivalent of the long highways going thru Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, with a landscape of icebergs and Inuit hunters as the last Indians. In the summer of 2013, the first luxury cruise ship ever to cr

Crossing the Northwest Passage through Greenland
August 31, 2013 - Kullorsuaq, Greenland: Inuit man with canoe. Since winning his second term as president of the United States in November 2024, Donald Trump has been publicly stating his interest for the United States to annex the ice-covered Danish territory of Greenland, the largest island in the world. Sliding like a snake thru the ices of the North, the Northwest Passage has been considered a deadly trap for years. Today, the Compagnie du Ponant, a French cruise ship operator, navigates it from Greenland to Russia, with its luxury ship Le Soleal. Navigators have been exploring this wonderful shortcut to the Orient for over 500 years. Ice, and wind froze most of the expeditions. In 1847, John Franklin disappeared in the Passage somewhere near Victoria Strait. As expeditions were sent to look for Franklinís body, the Passage ended up being mapped. In 1906, Amundsen finally sailed thru. Over the years, the Wild West was being civilized, and the Far North became Americaís final frontier, the ultimate space for human progress. Global warming melted the ice by the years 2000, and the Passage turned navigable from summer to fall. Some predict it will be navigable all year in 2020. The opening of the Passage raises considerable strategic and economic questions. The shortest route to Asia, will bring strong competition to the Panama and Suez canals. Since the 1960s, oil has been discovered in Alaska. The Arctic could also be a precious reservoir of gas and zinc. Therefore the Passage is coveted by Denmark, Russia, USA, CanadaÖ and the tourism industry. Until now, most visitors would board a Russian icebreaker to embark on a trip that looked more like an expedition than a cruise. But slowly, the Northwest Passage will become the equivalent of the long highways going thru Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, with a landscape of icebergs and Inuit hunters as the last Indians.
