Crossing the Northwest Passage is the eighth book in a series of Buddy the Globetrotter travel tales. Buddy joins an expedition to the Arctic, navigating the ice-choked channels of the Canadian High Arctic Archipelago as they cross from Greenland to Alaska. They hope to observe wildlife, visit indigenous people, and explore landscapes found nowhere else on Earth. But no passenger ship has ever made it through at that time of year. So much is hoped. So little is known. So much is uncertain. Can they break through multi-year sea ice? Can Buddy's elite canine patrol keep them safe from polar bears? Will their precautions against covid work? Will indigenous people welcome them? Are narrow channels deep enough to cross? Will they succeed
