"For 500 years, explorers nudged their ships through these Arctic waters, vainly seeking a shortcut to the riches of the East. The Northwest Passage, a deadly maze of sea ice, narrow straits and misshapen islands, still holds the traces of those who failed." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article explains how the melting of the Arctic ice during summer months allows ships to navigate through the Arctic islands in a shortcut to Asia and evaluates the effect this may have on the environment and the Inuit who live there.
