High North News: Statsraad Lehmkuhl’s Voyage Was Poorly Planned, Says Researcher

The Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl recently had to cancel a voyage through the Northwest Passage due to ice conditions. The voyage should have taken place in September, when sea ice extent is at its lowest, states a researcher. The expedition leader responds to the criticism.
