They took three bikes - KTM 990 Adventure, BMW R1200GS Adventure, F800GS - to the Dempster Highway in northern Canada where it crosses the Arctic Circle.

Now, we have Part II of the adventure. It is interesting to see how things changed once they got off of the pavement for some hard slogging in the back-country and mud.
