Evening Cruise of Maxwell Bay, Arctic Canada.

From Paul Bryers, August 25, 2025

We are currently undertaking a cautious and deliberate cruise around Maxwell Bay, taking in the breathtaking mountain scenery amidst the shifting evening light. Several icebergs are dispersed throughout the area, their blue hue creating a mesmerizing spectacle of wonderland.

As we head towards Beechey Island, the excitement increases. But so does the trepidation – there are a lot of ghosts in the seas, and some are angry!

Tomorrow will be a momentous day, climbing high into the Arctic tundra and paying respects to the graves of Sir John Franklin’s failed mission. They may not respect us…..
