In July, 1999 the good ship CHRISTIANE sails from Rotterdam, Holland, bound for the USA.
On board this creaking cargo ship will be
Jose Oostveen, Rob Godfrey, and a Citroën 2CV.
This voyage is the first leg of a journey to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, a journey that will take them 5,000 road miles across Canada, up the Alaska Highway to Fairbanks and then north on the Dalton Highway to the lonely, desolate wastes of the Arctic.
This will be a first: no one has ever been mad enough to attempt
to drive a Citroën 2CV across Canada and up the Dalton Highway.
What will happen on this perilous journey into the wilderness?
Will they ever return to Europe?
You can join in the rest of their great adventure here on...
