To the End of the Midnight Sun

In 2023, Amanda Bischke, Shira Biner, James Klemmensen and Noah Besen travelled to the Coronation Fjord and Coronation Glacier on the remote east coast of Baffin Island. This expedition was completed as human powered as possible with a 70 km sea kayak and 12 km of glacier travel to an area where there is no record of climbers exploring.

Shira and Amanda established all-female first known ascents in the Arctic. This adventure was supported by The Alpine Club of Canada’s Jen Higgins Grant.
