Ella ready for Northern Sea Route

Ella Hibbert (29), aka Ella in the Arctic, finished a record-breaking North West Passage solo last year. Now she is back at her boat to finish what she started: A circumnavigation of the Arctic, and she will be heading for the Northern Sea Route at the beginning of August.

Ella's Arctic expedition is officially endorsed by the Scientific Exploration Society and she is also part of The International SeaKeepers Society.

You can, and you should follow her and support her. Check out Ella in the Arctic website.

We have just released our Arctic Sailing Program, and it starts in mid-October with sailing with Whales and Northern Lights above 70 degrees North. Come join us for an experience you will never forget.
