Unraveling the Northwest Passage
As the adventurers navigated northward along the Atlantic coastline, they encountered the icy waters of the Northwest Passage. This treacherous route, once sought after by explorers like Sir John Franklin, provided a formidable challenge for our modern-day heroes. Battling through freezing temperatures, dangerous icebergs, and unpredictable weather conditions, they persisted. Their determination and perseverance led them to triumph over the icy obstacles that guarded the passage, making history as the first group to successfully sail through.
Exploring Canada's Dazzling Beauty
After completing the Northwest Passage, the circumnavigators ventured into the vast Canadian wilderness. Admiring the majestic Rocky Mountains, they marveled at the breathtaking landscapes of Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, and the Yoho National Park. Hiking through dense forests, they discovered hidden waterfalls cascading down towering cliffs, serene lakes mirrored by snow-capped peaks, and an abundance of wildlife that called these pristine habitats home.
Immersing in Indigenous Cultures
Throughout their journey, the explorers were eager to learn about and engage with the indigenous cultures of North America. From the Inuit peoples of the Arctic to the First Nations of Canada and the Native American tribes in the United States, they sought to understand the rich cultural heritage that permeates this vast continent. Through meaningful interactions, they gained profound insights into centuries-old traditions, ancient rituals, and traditional ways of life.
Treasures of Latin America
Continuing their voyage southward, the adventurers explored the diverse nations of Latin America. From the lush rainforests of Costa Rica to the vibrant streets of Mexico City, they immersed themselves in the captivating beauty and colorful traditions of this region. A kaleidoscope of cultures awaited them at every turn, from the Mayan ruins of Guatemala to the tango-filled nights of Buenos Aires. The circumnavigation of North America unraveled a tapestry of cultural diversity that transcends borders.
Complete the Journey
Finally, after two unforgettable years, the extraordinary journey concluded in August 2020. The circumnavigators accomplished what was once merely a dream – the first-ever complete journey around the entire continent of North America. Their adventure serves as a testament to the human spirit, the unyielding quest for exploration, and the boundless wonders that await those who dare to embark on extraordinary journeys.
The first circumnavigation of North America from October 2018 to August 2020 will forever shine as a beacon of triumph and discovery. This unprecedented feat has unveiled the hidden gems of this vast continent, from the untamed beauty of its natural landscapes to the centuries-old traditions of its diverse cultures. As we reflect on this momentous undertaking, we are inspired to embrace the spirit of exploration and embark on our own extraordinary adventures.

Freya Hoffmeister, one of the world's most renowned expedition sea kayakers, is on her way to conquering her third continent with the 'First Circumnavigation of North America.'
She has already completely circumnavigated Iceland (2007), New Zealand South (2007), Australia (2009), South America (2011-2015), and Ireland (2016) in record times.
Freya set off from Seattle in 2017 to tackle the vast 'North Island' in two half-circles, arriving in New York once each from the north and south after more than a decade. She plans to paddle the estimated 50,000 km in six months per year, three months each on the north and three months on the south route.
At the north end, she will tackle the icy Northwest Passage, and at the south end, she will cross the Panama Canal a second time to connect with her 2011 - 2015 circumnavigation of South America.
Freya publishes her exciting, adventurous journals as the journey unfolds over a dozen years.
Book 1 in the series covers her experiences from March 2017 to August 2018.
In this Book 2, she publishes her accounts from October 2018 to August 2020, plus a bonus chapter on her circumnavigation of Lofoten in August 2020.
