Expeditions 7 arrives at the Arctic Ocean and the beginning of their two-year adventure

After eight months of full-time logistics and planning, Brady and Miller arrive at the shores of the Arctic Ocean and the official start of Expeditions 7

The team endured temperatures as low as -35 on the windswept coastline, keeping them bundled up, but the reward of driving the Land Cruiser to the shore of the Arctic Ocean and the physical start of their two-year journey was worth the momentary frostnip. Expeditions 7 is the first vehicle-based adventure to receive permission to access the ice with their vehicle in over a decade.

At N70 18′, this will be the furthest north the team will travel in North America, also the northernmost road accessible point on the NA continent.
