Polar expeditions have always fascinated me – here’s a new one:Serco TransArctic Expedition
Hmm. Makes me want to dig out my old Victory Sings at Sea CD and play “The Northwest Passage.”
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
(Wow, the CD is back in print! Excellent, excellent, excellent stuff.)
