Terje André Pedersen is preparing to transit the Northwest Passage in 2026–2027 aboard *Alma*, a wooden replica of Roald Amundsen’s ship *Gjøa*.11:35 The expedition aims to follow the original 1903–1906 route from the Atlantic to Nome, Alaska, making *Alma* the first Norwegian-flagged yacht to replicate that specific transit.46:24 The vessel, which is 17 feet shorter than the original *Gjøa* but maintains similar displacement, features a modern diesel engine with a 2,500-nautical-mile range, satellite communications, and a water maker.11:46 Pedersen plans to utilize a rotating core crew of seven to manage the ship, balancing traditional wooden-boat sailing with modern safety and navigation technology.33:14 Previous test voyages have included sailing to Jan Mayen, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, and Svalbard.14:59 The project emphasizes cultural heritage and historical research while incorporating scientific data collection, such as microplastic monitoring.47:34 Pedersen notes that while the vessel retains a traditional rig, the crew will prioritize flexibility and contingency planning over the rigid, high-risk approach of historical expeditions.22:29
