The Arctic circle - where exactly?
On a globe
Ella intends to complete a full circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle, above the 66.5 degrees North of latitude that encompasses the Arctic Ocean.
The exact route will depend on the weather and sea conditions closer to the departure in 2025, but will encompass heading into the Arctic between Iceland and Norway, and completing a clockwise circumnavigation.
Potential Routes
Here you can see a rough outline of the potential routes depending on the weather and sea ice conditions at the time.

Ella started sailing small dinghies as a young girl - a passion she was passed down by her father.
She has been to the Med, the Caribbean, the Atlantic and the Pacific, on boats and as a diver, and has seen first-hand how at risk these oceans are.
Ella's passion for the ocean is the driving force behind this phenomenal expedition she's undertaking.
