Crossing the Northwest Passage from the Pacific coast of Canada to Greenland and the Atlantic wasn't something you could do in the past, but due to a dramatic retreat in the summer sea ice it was navigable last year for the first time since monitoring began. Cruises that currently head up the inland waterway in Alaska may slowly inch further north as the glaciers recede.
