2019The Winter Crossing of the Arctic

In 2019, the Norwegian polar adventurer Børge Ousland and Mike Horn completed one of the most ambitious polar expeditions of the modern era, crossing the Arctic Ocean during winter.

Traveling for months through polar darkness, shifting sea ice, pressure ridges, extreme cold, and open water, the two explorers pushed themselves to the limit in a rapidly changing Arctic environment.

The expedition attracted worldwide attention as the pair battled difficult ice conditions and dwindling supplies before eventually reaching their destination after a dramatic and highly demanding journey.

Throughout the crossing, Ousland relied on Norrøna expedition clothing and equipment, continuing a decades-long partnership between the company and one of the world's most accomplished polar explorers.

The expedition became a powerful reminder that, even in the 21st century, there are still journeys on Earth that demand the same courage, resilience, and pioneering spirit that characterized the great age of polar exploration.
