  August 2010: oceanrower Ralph Tuijn (NL) will add more sea miles to his Atlantic and Pacific crossings by rowing in team with Pieter Smit non-stop from Amsterdam to Svalbard, aka Spitzbergen (the northernmost inhabited island in the world). The route of 2890km/1796 miles as the crow flies is crossing the northern part of the Atlantic and ending in the Arctic Ocean, so the working title of the expedition is: “80 Degrees North Challenge”. It will be the first time that an ocean rowboat is going that far north (record of Smurgis is 77˚ 44' N) and the second time that it reaches the Arctic ocean.
Note: Expedition website to be launched in Dutch and English by the end of February 2010.
