    The GJOA was the vessel used by legendary Arctic explorer Roald Amundsen who used this craft to attempt a navigation across the top of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. Amundsen and a crew of 8 sailed in this vessel from Greenland to Nome , Alaska in a trip that took 3 years from 1903 to 1906. The original ship was returned to Norway in 1972. This kit would build into an accurate replica of an important historic craft from the age of great polar exploration."
