Trapped By Ice, I've Never Felt So Free Alban Michon's Arctic Expedition

The objective of the exploration is not a selfish, sporting pursuit but one at the service of the planet. Alban aims to capture the beauty of a poetic, mysterious region and to demonstrate its increasingly fragile nature in the face of the ravages of climate change.

Why the Northwest Passage?

Scientifically, the Northwest Passage is an under-discovered region. Dually, it is one of the world’s most breathtaking and important natural environments. Its existence is threatened by climate change and increasing commercial and political interests. In 2014, the first cargo ship passed through the Passage without the need for an escort from icebreakers. The route has opened for increasingly longer summer periods in recent years – one of the most visible manifestations of climate change on the planet. By the summer of 2050, the consensus among scientists is that, if the current rate of warming continues, the entire Passage will be largely ice free. In addition, increased commercial interest will lead to a rise in oil spills; black carbon waste will accelerate the ice retreat and have a catastrophic impact on marine life.

What will Alban test?

My name is Toni Metcalfe I am a mum of three children and I also have a passion for running. Not just any running but Ultra running. An Ultra run is defined by any distance over a marathon (42.2kms) but is usually much longer and on mountainous terrain. My last race was 100 miles long and across the south of England countryside.​​​​​​​
