The Northwest Passage is the area in northern Canada that borders the Arctic Ocean. Summer and winter alike, beyond 60 degrees north latitude, ice floes block this passage. Many adventurers have left their lives, and sometimes their names, there. But since the end of the 90s, under the action of global warming, the sea ice is melting faster and faster. The Northwest Passage could thus be freed for the first time in twenty years.

Jean-Christophe Victor, specialist in geopolitics (The underside of the maps) and son of Paul-Émile Victor, the famous explorer of the Far North, gives us his thoughts, as well as his view of this threatened white paradise..
