Description

It was a travel day at sea today as we headed south in the Arctic Ocean. But travel days can be a chance to reflect on the history of exploration in the Arctic and there is nothing I enjoy doing more. That plus also watching the Navy go through its drills breaking in a new vessel on its maiden northern voyage.
