The Northwest Passage Drive Expedition’s Moon-1 Humvee Rover makes landfall in Cambridge Bay on 17 April 2009 after a record-breaking 8-day, 494 km journey on sea-ice, the longest sea-ice traverse ever conducted in a road vehicle. Expedition teams members were warmly greeted by the Cambridge Bay community and by the hamlet’s mayor, Michelle Gillis, who met with the team at the “beach”.
