A remote corner of the Arctic, the Northwest Passage, is being tackled by a brave band of explorers with the help of high tech planning software.

Amidst the ice-locked terrain, temperatures of 40 below zero and man-eating polar bears the Ice Warriors team led by veteran explorer Jim McNeill have prepared for every eventuality using MindManager. Just days after setting off on the 500-mile trek from their base in Resolute Bay the team stay on top of their logistics by accessing MindManager on laptops.
