oceanrower
Ralph Tuijn
(NL)
will add more sea miles to his
Atlantic and Pacific crossings by rowing in team with
Pieter Smit
non-stop from
Amsterdam to Svalbard, aka Spitzbergen (the
northernmost inhabited island in the world). The route of 2890km/1796
miles as the crow flies is crossing the northern part of the Atlantic
and ending in the Arctic Ocean, so the working title of the expedition
is: “80 Degrees North Challenge”. It will be the first time that an
ocean rowboat is going that far north (record of
Smurgis is 77˚ 44' N) and
the second time
that it reaches the Arctic ocean. |
