The crossing of a thousand challenges

“In the Arctic archipelago, the ghosts of Franklin’s expedition remind us that danger is everywhere. The cold can break you physically, the white as far as the eye can see can drive you mad. As they set out on Canada’s first north-south human-powered crossing through the white hell of pack ice, a polar bear highway and the deadly waves of Nunavut’s great lakes, two adventurers from Quebec City would soon face a choice: move forward or be swallowed up.”

Top 10 Expeditions of 2021: #3 Canada North to South

“In mid-November, Guillaume Moreau and Nicolas Roulx cycled up to Point Pelee, the southernmost point of Canada. The pair had started 234 days, almost eight months, earlier at a small weather station halfway up Ellesmere Island. For 7,600km, they had hauled sleds, canoed, sort of canoed, and cycled almost the vertical length of Canada. It had never been done before. No one had ever tried. Such firsts are incredibly rare nowadays.”

AKOR 2021 expedition

“Next March, five friends will embark on an extreme expedition, a historic expedition, never before attempted: to cross Canada in its north-south axis, by human power, without interruption. A 7,600-kilometer expedition lasting 6 to 7 months. Physiology and nutrition specialist Angelo Tremblay sees the AKOR 2021 expedition as a goldmine of information. By transforming these explorers into scientific subjects, he will be able to measure the impact of an extreme expedition.”
