In the Arctic, ice is only one of the challenges

The Arctic Ocean is often enveloped in heavy fog. This requires excellent navigation skills.

- The fog in the pass near Alaska’s Dutch Harbor was so thick that you could see only a metre ahead from the ship railing, Teräkoski recalls.

Nevertheless, he would be ready to travel again right away.

- The locals were just starting the crayfish season in Dutch Harbor, and we saw the kind of life they actually live there, he continues.

- This was quite fascinating, and we also met with folks from Deadliest Catch.
