Polar exploration expedition beyond Beaufort shelf
The sledge expedition pushed into uncharted Beaufort seas beyond plans of the Royal Geographical Society of London and the American Geographical Society of New York. They learned Beaufort Sea is deep, not shallow, and started from Flaxman land on March 18, 1907, lasting 65 days with 29 days to reach the farthest point. They faced rubble ice and slow progress, covering only 14 miles in eight days, while Captain Mikkelsen outlined two icebound plans to train the polar continent using boat and sledge trips from Point Barrow and a frozen ship supply strategy.
