Expedition to the Edge

The crew of the Infinity is in the Marshall Islands preparing for one of the most dangerous expeditions known to man; sailing farther north than any sail ship ever has; if they don't leave in time, they risk being locked in arctic ice for ten months.

The Infinity crew is on its way to Dutch Harbor and a brewing storm system threatens to put them through their first real test; they stop in an atoll to get the boat storm-ready.

After crossing the North Pacific, the Infinity arrives in Dutch Harbor.

The crew of Infinity enter the Arctic Circle, where they encounter a brutal storm and their first ice; as they push toward the next safe harbor, they run aground in dangerously shallow waters with a wall of ice closing in on them.

Fear of overwintering in the Arctic becomes more and more real as the crew becomes trapped in ice; tensions on the ship reach a boiling point, pushing one crew member over the edge.

The crew receives an ominous warning from the Coast Guard and must make a tough decision; abandoning the mission would require overwintering in the Arctic; a desperate attempt to push through and escape the Northwest Passage could be fatal.
