Paul Homewood har skrevet en lite påminnelse om tidligere tiders kommersiell skipstrafikk i Nordøstpassasjen:

QuoteAnd yet The Independent has the nerve to claim that, "No commercial vessel has ever successfully travelled the North-east Passage," while The Times in an updated version of its story, is still telling us that "the voyage was considered impossible until a few years ago."

As for Niels Stolberg, founder and president of the Beluga Group, when he tells us that, "We are all very proud and delighted to be the first Western shipping company to have successfully transited the legendary Northeast Passage," why is the media taking him seriously?

Her er en ganske utfyllende historisk artikkel om seilinger gjennom Nordøstpassasjen siden Nordenskjølds "Vega" i 1878-79.



På slutten av artikkelen utvises forøvrig sunn skepsis til at "klimaendringer" vil gjøre det så mye lettere å bruke denne ruten:
