Cambridge Bay & Gjoa Haven, Nunavut, Canada arctic (august 2003)
On assignement for the French weekly magazine Le Figaro, I step onboard the French polar sailboat Vagabond for part of the crossing of the famous Northwest Passage. Eric Brossier, the captain left with two years to live to deal with a possible wintering stuck in the ice. However, the boat will make the crossing in a few weeks, the ice are not there, it is already a sad observation regarding global warming.
Vagabond continues to criss-cross the Arctic ice.
