T&T: aRCTIC ROUTE OPEN

[Arild Jensen]

Somebody asked about charts for  arctic cruising  a little while back.

Have a look at this website:

  Both Routes Around Arctic Open at Summer's End

This about as up to date as you are going to get in terms of  northern coverage.  

Something to remember is th efact  most of th eice used to  be  more thna five feet deep and ice bergs are 9/10 submerged.  
In other words if the icebergs are floating by then you have sufficient depth of water.
