site.btaFAR Expedition across Arctic Ocean Aborted after 313 Nautical Miles

The two Bulgarians, who undertook the first end to end crossing of the Arctic Ocean by a rowing boat, successfully covered 313 nautical miles before deciding to abort the expedition, the crew said on Monday. The decision was taken after Vladimir Tabutov suffered from an acute seasickness, while Stefan Ivanov severed a finger tendon. Ivanov, the skipper of the boat, told BTA that both are already on solid ground on the island of Froya, Norway.
