21. The Northern Passage 2010 On Midsummer’s Eve, Børge and Thorleif will sail from Oslo, in a daring attempt to sail through both the Northwest and Northeast passages during the same season. Can their speedy trimaran survive the challenge of ice-filled Arctic waters, clearing both passages before they freeze? Ousland (Web News): '…the use of satellite images to know where the ice are. We will use RADARSAT, and this will be quite important. ' The CSA will provide RADARSAT data to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute that will derive ice charts for a secure travelling route!
