New Land 2013 Expedition

28.mars legger fire eventyrere ut på ekspedisjon. Ekspedisjonsruta går over Ellesmereøya, ett av de mest karismatiske og dyrerike områdene i Arktis. De skal blant annet bruke skiseil og gå på ski for å ta seg fram, og ligger nå i hardtrening. Derfor må du ikke bli forundret om du møter Tobias som trekker dekk gjennom Frognerparken i ukene framover.

Otto Sverdrup embodies the cultural ethos of what it means to be Norwegian as no other explorer. Due to a lack of unnecessary drama and his quiet nature, Sverdrup’s astounding polar achievements and peerless feats of leadership remain unheralded.

Visual Treatment:

Since Otto Sverdrup’s discovery of western Ellesmere Island and the Sverdrup Islands some 110 years ago this region has by in large remained the great wilderness that the original explorers experienced.Changes in the Arctic:
