THE STORM.

Sixty-nine Vikings faced the North Atlantic together. By the close of Day 12, the crew had carried the fleet to 14,331,674 steps — approximately 9,315.6 kilometres from Greenland.

The storm became a test of the whole fleet. Sails, oars and courage were placed under pressure as the crew fought to remain together.

SIXTY-NINE VIKINGS.
ONE CREW. ONE STORM.
