John Huston New Land 2013 Ellesmere Island Expedition
NEW LAND 2013 EXPEDITION WILL DOCUMENT ELLESMERE ISLAND
In March 2013, American John Huston and Norwegian Toby Thorleifsson did the “New Land 2013 Ellesmere Island Expedition”, a 72-day journey across 630 miles of one of the last untouched wildernesses on Earth, the Canadian Arctic. With sled dogs and on skis, the four-man party retraced historic expedition routes of Norwegian Otto Sverdrup (1854-1930), who led a team of 17 men between 1898 and 1902 in discovering and mapping more than 150,000 square kilometers of Ellesmere Island, the northernmost landmass of North America. They used the Forty Below Fresh Tracks overboots. Check out the website: www.johnhuston.com
