Lecture: Arctic Return expedition leader David Reid is delighted to take you on a journey of discovery, history & adventure. In March 1854, Orcadian explorer John Rae set out from Naujaat in the Cdn Arctic. Together with Inuk William Ouligbuck & Ojibway Thomas Mistegan, Rae discovered both the final link in the first navigable Northwest Passage and the catastrophe that had engulfed the failed Franklin expedition. In March 2019, the Arctic Return Expedition team set out from Naujaat on skis to retrace the 650km route taken by Rae and his companions. The goal of the Arctic Return journey was to bring awareness, pay tribute to and honour John Rae; one of the greatest Arctic explorers of all time. Register.
