Kane Basin and Nares Strait: August 9, 2025
Sea Ice looking east to Greenland We're deep into the sea ice. Last night it sounded like the ship was having quite a fight plowing, ramming, and chopping its way north. Our HX ship is rated for 1.3 m/4.26 feet of first-year ice. It has been an amazing experience and this morning we are still northbound in the Nares Strait. We saw Canada this morning. At the narrowest point in the Nares Strait, the distance between Ellesmere Island and Greenland is 48 k/30 miles. View of Elle
