PADDLING THE ARCTIC
In 2022, Karl became the first human to paddle 420 miles of the Northwest Passage on a standup paddleboard. What began as a single season expedition has evolved into something much deeper: a multi year connection with the land and people of the Arctic.
Continuing his paddle in 2023, Karl paddled from Paulatuk to Kugluktuk, Nunavut, another 457 mile trip, and continuing each year until reaching Pond Inlet in 2026.
Karl has dipped his blade in the Arctic Ocean's deceptive waters for a total of 877 miles.
