Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the electric-powered sailboat Uma prepares for a high-latitude expedition from Tromsø, Norway, to Svalbard by purchasing a portable Honda gasoline generator.2:38 Because the vessel relies on solar power and untested regeneration systems, the crew requires a backup power source for remote areas where shore-side charging is unavailable.5:46 They commission the generator by adding oil and fuel and fabricating a custom charging cable to connect the unit to the boat’s electrical system.2:58 This addition serves as a contingency for their upcoming passage, as the crew faces a strict seasonal window to reach Svalbard before winter conditions set in.8:12 Before departing, the crew explores Tromsø, visiting the Arctic Cathedral and taking a cable car to a mountain summit.10:30 They depart the harbor at 11:00 p.m. to sail into the midnight sun, marking the start of their transit toward the Arctic archipelago.15:42
