Steven, Patrick, and Charles take a look back at struggles the team has been through since leaving Seattle over 6000 miles ago: disgruntled crew, short on money, the Russian military, changing the expeditions route, and heading into the ice.

The expedition hauls their machines and gear up some of the roughest roads in North America. It a 3100 mile journey North through Whitehorse, Dawson Creek, the Yukon and then back above the Arctic Circle.

Pushing into the Arctic Ocean the team almost sinks their fuel boat; the crew split up and camp on a deserted beach. The Arctic twilight gives way to a bitter cold and the men get their first glimpse of the pack ice.

The expedition burns more fuel than anticipated and is forced to re-route. The hills along the coast begin to catch fire. Twenty-Five miles offshore the men get trapped by the Arctic ice with no way out.

The White Wolf,

Behind schedule the men push themselves to near exhaustion riding for over 350 miles in the dead of the Arctic night. The coast is riddled with caves and hidden coves. At twilight the men run upon an White Arctic Wolf.

Calculated Risk,

With the coldest weather the team has run into yet they decide to overnight in a barren cove. Steven and the fuel boat leave the rest of the crew at the camp and risk a 120 mile round trip journey for supplies.

The crew depart Cambridge Bay in unsettle weather and are forced to take refuge on Jenny Lin Island. The wind changes direction and the fuel boat along with all of the Jetski come crashing onto the shore. Steven’s watercraft is sinking.

An Arctic blizzard howls down on the crew. The men try to convince the local hunters and trappers to help them haul fuel North. Ice reports show an advancing ice cap. Freezing spray blanket the crew.

It’s sinking,

Freezing spray covers the men. In the black of the Arctic night Steven’s watercraft sinks. The weather report looks grim. High winds almost capsize the fuel boat. The Whalers boat goes adrift.

For the first time this season the crew begin seeing Polar Bears roaming the frozen tundra. The weather continues to build and Steven has to make a decision on the fate of his watercraft.

Steven’s watercraft continues to sink. The expedition takes refuge on a deserted, frozen beach. It’s seal for lunch! The Whaling boat captain gets a funny feeling and changes everything for the expedition.

The Whalers refuse to haul the expeditions fuel any further North. The men must calculate if they have enough fuel and food to make it. The ocean begins to freeze right beneath the men’s watercraft.

The ice pack moves in around the fuel boat and all the Jet Ski Watercraft. Gasoline barrels rupture, the team all hunker down on the fuel boat, the weather moves in. The team must make their most difficult decision ever before someone gets hurt.
