Brady Trautman and Alex Blue of SV Delos fame were part of a team that just released an amazing documentary about their sailing trip around the island of Svalbard. Together with Brian Trautman and Karin, they teamed up with Andy Schell and Mia Karlsson on the SV Isbjorn to form an 8 person team for this adventure. Svalbard lies 600 miles north of Norway and part of the island is above 80 degrees north, or the Arctic Circle. Brady and Alex have some incredible stories from the trip about the wildlife, geology, ice and also trash from fishing gear, nets and general plastic coming from around the world. The adventure was incredible and it spawned the desire for more while asking the questions about how to responsibly visit a fragile area such as Svalbard. Be sure to check out their full documentary on their website. This documentary is being offered with a pay what you think is fair model. Visit their website and see the film here:
