The Northwest Passage

I am proud to report that I have single-handedly re-discovered the Northwest Passage. It is not quite as arduous as the history books would have us believe; Roald Amundsen is guilty, I fear, of some unwarranted exaggerations. The passage is, in fact, rather well-marked and freely accessible -- although perhaps (to give Mr. Amundsen the benefit of the doubt) this may be the result of global warming.
