Wrangel Island in the Arctic Sea is home to one of the world's oldest oxymorons: miniature mammoths.
Here, Fitzhugh will study fossil remains of the perma-frozen pachyderms.
One of the most extraordinary archaeological finds of recent times, these mammoths were presumably the
last woolies to live on Earth. The expedition will then cross the Bering Strait into Alaska before heading
south to Kodiak Island.
