EXPEDITIONS Flag Reports   FLAG 49 Ocean Frontiers 1000 Hour Day Expedition July 31—September 25, 2005 By Christopher Bray MI'05 Expedition Members: Christopher Bray Clark Carter Introduction The goal of our 2-man, unsupported expedition was to cross Victoria Island, above the Canadian mainland inside the Arctic Circle. Being the ninth largest island in the world, it was surprising that such an expedition has not been tried until now. After studying maps, satellite photographs and gathering as much local knowledge as we could, we planned a route from the most easterly point of the island to its most westerly, a journey of just over 1000km. We gave ourselves 65 days to achieve this, with the first 1000 hours being perpetual daylight, hence the name of our expedition—Ocean Frontiers 1000 Hour Day Expedition.
