Susan Eaton – Snorkeling the Northwest Passage

Susan is the driving force behind Team Sedna, a 10-woman international snorkeling team that plans to snorkel the 3,000-kilometre (1,864 miles) Northwest Passage during the summers of 2017 and 2018. For those of you who are ‘geographically challenged’, like me, the Northwest Passage is the sea route connecting the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.

The team undertook a test-run from Labrador to Greenland in 2014 to try out equipment. Next up was a mission to Baffin Island in July 2016.  Eaton told CBC News that unpredictable sea conditions, gale-force winds, sharks, walruses, and drifting pack ice will make it a dangerous expedition. The 100-day snorkel relay will take place over the summers of 2017 and 2018.
