If all goes well, 27-year-old Ella Hibbert will slip lines on her Bruce Roberts 38, Yeva at Haslar Marina in Gosport on the UK's south coast, in mid-to-late June and sail to Norway, before attempting the first solo circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle.

Climate change is making a once unthinkable passage possible, prompting one young sailor to raise awareness of it, in the most awe-inspiring way. British sailor Ella aims to traverse both the North West and North East Passage alone and in one season.
