DRIVE THE GLOBE | Overland Adventures is going to the Arctic Circle! March 8th 2007 we will meet in Edmonton, Alberta and head north! The ultimate goal is the Arctic Circle via the Dempster Highway and beyond. The trek will continue on over winter ice roads and ultimately reach Tuktoyaktuk, a small village on the Beaufort Sea (part of the Arctic Ocean) Along the way we will be traveling through the beautiful scenery of northern British Columbia to Whitehorse, in the Yukon Territory, the gold-rush town of Dawson City and then to Inuvik. One can expect quite a bit of distance to be covered in a short period of time. Expect long driving days, especially in the beginning of the trip. Total distance covered: over 4800 miles.

 

The expedition team consists of: Michael Ladden, Expedition Leader; Peter Goundry; Jim Leach; Kim Groenendyk, Logistics Coordinator; Eric May and Neal Brenner.  Eric and Neal will be adding to their adventure by meeting the rest of the crew in Edmonton after driving from Virginia.
