"A team of Norwegians have spent the last six summers in Cambridge Bay off the Nunavut territory of northern Canada attempting to raise Arctic explorer Roald Amundsen‘s research ship Maud from where it has been sitting in ice and mud for the last 86 years. This year they succeeded. Maud is finally afloat, though it will still take considerable time and effort to bring her back to Norway, the goal of the group appropriately named Maud Returns Home. "This is a milestone, of course, because we have been wanting to lift her ever since we started to think about this project," Jan Wanggaard, project manager for the Norway-based organization Maud Returns Home told CBCNews. "To actually see her releasing from the seabed — it's a great experience."" link

This is fantastic, and interesting. Thank you for posting. An area of interest since reading 'The Last Viking' about his explorative adventures. |
