Now THAT’S dedication – 2.5 hours of sunlight, big tides, winter storms; not your ideal starting conditions for a mission. Regardless, it was what Hartkopp arrived to in mid-January. The plan had been clear for half a year, go to the Arctic in March when there’s snow and the skies are beautifully lit. A nontraditional winter storm made him splash the cash and chase Arctic swell in early January this year
