DEW Line Passage: Tracing the Legacies of Arctic Militarization
A multi-season (2008, '09) voyage along the western Arctic coast by sailing canoe
to explore the cultural and environmental history of the Cold War's northermost 'distant early warning' radar outposts.
Update Year II: October, 2009: The team made it from Barrow to Peard Bay and to Wainwright, waited for good weather to continue along
the coast to Point Lay but ended up flying (over the largely frozen lagoon). Coming soon: pages on Point Lay and whaling back in Barrow.
