Northwest Passage – Polly Cronin

Northwest Passage – Polly Cronin

The Northwest Passage refers to efforts by Europeans over several centuries to discover a Western route to the riches of the Orient without having to sail south the length of South America, through the Magellan Straits, then north and west across the Pacific Ocean.  Its history is littered with tales and tragedies – ice-choked passageways and lonely burials.  Polly’s Northwest Passage voyage in September 2022 retraced the abortive route from Cambridge Bay, Canada, to Greenland, albeit in reverse.
