The Northwest Passage - The Quick Northern Sea Route That Never Was

206,397 Views β€’ Premiered Apr 28, 2022 β€’ Click to toggle off description
A sea-route that would connect Europe to the riches of Asia. Its there somewhere, over the north of the continent of America. So was the thought in the minds of thousands of merchants, explorers and kings in an obsession that would grip the sea-faring nations of Europe for four centuries. If only they knew the truth of the Arctic Archipelago of Northern Canada. A barren, frozen complex of land and sea about as hostile an environment as any to be found on Earth. A crusher of ships, and the grave of those arrogant enough to believe it was theirs to conquer. This is infamous geography. This is the Northwest Passage.

Everybody gangsta till the Humid Subtropical theme starts playing in the middle of a video about the Arctic.

I think Franklin's and other expeditions before that were what we call siege technique used in mountaineering while Amundsen used Alpine style technique in all his expeditions. Coupled with his readiness to learn and accept local techniques ensured that he survived and became successful in all the two poles and in NW passage.

I travelled through the NorthWest Passage, west to east, aboard the MV Simon Fraser in the summer of 2000. Enjoyed your video. πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž

Westward from the Davis Strait, 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea-route to the Orient, for which so many died Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelsey, where his Sea of Flowers began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

My father worked on the DEW line in the mid 1950s. He said ships got through with supplies but had less than a two week window to get back out

A very kick ass metal version of "Northwest Passage" is performed by Unleashed the Archers. Epic.

As an Inuk from Nunavut, I was blessed to be directly connected to the blood line of those who walked with the last of the Whalers in the Roes welcome sound, George comer and John Murray specifically - the Photos collected by Geraldine Moodie (wife of General Douglas Moodie - RCNWMP) and George Comer respectively depict my Grandfather Joe Curley's adoptive parents... He is the third Child adopted my Angutimmarik and Shoofly, Jon Ell, Laurent Pameolik, and Joe Qajarjuaq Curley (named for his Curley Hair) there is a misconception that Harry Tassiuk and Angutimmarik are the same person, who historically aided the American Whaler George Comer, But Angutimmarik "Scotch Tom" was the aid of the Scottish Whaler John Murray and was the true Husband of Shoofly "Nivisannaaq" the elaboratley photographed and famous model used by Geraldine and George Both in their now Famous Photos. I am currently working on an; Inuit History Course - and would love to use the very well done piece of Work in my Teachings.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change, that lives within the means available and works co-operatively against common threats. Charles Darwin. Great account by you – I really enjoyed it. There are just some places on Earth that people should not go to unless they gain sufficient previous knowledge.

I can’t imagine the conditions living on a ship for THREE winters in that desolate wilderness.

Don't forget. The knowledge Amundsen learned from the Inuit is what enabled him to reach the south pole first.

A very solid overview of the Northwest Passage, which somehow I missed until now! One small correction: The Ross Expedition of 1829-33 (at @16:30) was actually led by Sir John Ross, who had led the 1818 expedition. Sir James Ross, his nephew, was actually his second in command on the expedition. John would gain a knighthood out of the expedition; James, his step to post captain. James Ross would later lead famous expeditions of his own to both the Antarctic and Arctic - and this often leads to confusion with those of his uncle.

What an interesting story. The early discovery of all of these places are so fascinating to learn about. Stuff like this is really helpful for Worldbuilding. Well done, Geodiode, I quite enjoyed this one!
