Travel to the Land of The Midnight Sun – Episode 3

The third and final part of Alexander Armstrong’s Arctic adventure sees the affable presenter travel to North America’s furthest extremes. In Canada, he visits the gold rush town of Dawson City and flies across the mighty Yukon River. From Canada, Armstrong’s journey ends in Alaska where he joins an Ice Road Trucker on the Dalton Highway and witnesses a spectacular display of the Northern Lights.

Many of the places he visits are very much “off-the-beaten-track” but here at Artisan Travel, we have worked closely with local suppliers in both Alaska and the Yukon to create holidays which allow you to make the absolute most of your stay in these remarkable places.

My swim between the landmasses of Europe and America was far less of a challenge than I initially anticipated, it required neither years of training and preparation nor support teams and record-breaking feats of endurance. On the chilly February morning which had been chosen for my swim, I woke in my cosy double bed in Reykjavik (which was to be the starting point of my adventure), enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast and waited for my crew to collect me in reception, without any real sense of trepidation at all.
