Did you know that a part of the Duluth skywalk system is called the Northwest Passage? Yep.
"Some portions of the skywalk system may see relatively little traffic these days. But Forsman pointed out that other segments, including the Northwest Passage, remain busy and continue to provide vital links. So, he considers any suggestion of a wholesale closure to be inconceivable."

The 14,500 kilometer #FarNorthFiber long cable will directly link #Europe to #Japan, via the #NorthwestPassage in the #Arctic, with landing sites in Japan, the #US (Alaska), #Canada, #Norway, #Finland and #Ireland.
It would have been unthinkable until just a few years ago, when a thick, multiyear layer of ice made navigation impossible.

#GrayWhale, Long Absent From #Atlantic, Is Spotted Off Massachusetts
Gray #whales are regularly found in #Pacific, but sightings in Atlantic are extremely rare. #Climatechange is largely to blame for sightings. #NorthwestPassage, which connects Atlantic & Pacific, has been #icefree during summer months in recent years. Without ice, gray whales were able to swim through the passage, something that would not have been possible in the last century. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/science/gray-whale-nantucket.html

On Sunday, October 8, The Arctic Cowboys’ four-person team completed the first-ever navigation of the Northwest Passage by kayak in a single season.
The final day had “…the roughest waves of the entire expedition… They seal-launched from Whale Cliffs in 15-foot waves…with 20-foot breakers.”

Today in 1950, the St. Roch arrived in Halifax, becoming the 1st vessel to circumnavigate North America, going from Halifax to Vancouver, then through the Arctic back to Halifax.
She is also the first vessel to complete a voyage through the Northwest Passage going west to east.
