The North West Passage

We began today with Stan Rogers and so we'll end today with him too.

London’s National Maritime Museum has a new exhibition, The North West Passage: An Arctic obsession, exploring Britain's fascination with the North West Passage. Stan Rogers sang about the tragic tales of Franklin and the others who tried the North West Passage.

The YouTube description says they are the Chamber Men singing Stan Rogers' North West Passage for the Etodori Highschool Students during the cultural exchange day on October 26, 2006.

I don't know where these young men are from but they sing beautifully.
