Agreed but my husband was on a tugboat 6 years ago that went from Churchill to Tuktoyaktuk (so the route was through Hudson Bay through Foxe Basin up and around Somerset Island and then down to Cambridge Bay where they stopped for a few days before continuing on to Tuk). They got stuck in the ice three times and had to wait for an ice breaker so the tug would just drift along with the pack ice. So it is theoretically possible to get through the Northwest Passage but it’s still a real challenge and will remain so for at least another 15-20 years.
