I don't think Tara has reached the Northwest Passage just yet. However she has just been joined by the valiant crew of Babouchka!

A brief excerpt from their log: http://oceans.taraexpeditions.org/en/all-calm-in-beaufort-sea.php?id_page=1491
Quote
All Calm in Beaufort Sea
 
Tara and the 15 current crew members of the Tara Oceans Polar Circle expedition just entered the smooth waters (with a slight swell) of Beaufort Sea. At the same time we left international waters and entered the exclusive economic maritime zone of the United States.
Arctic ice is healthy for children and other living things because "we cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice"

Tara is now safely through the last bit of sea ice in her path, and is currently cruising down Lancaster Sound towards Arctic Bay:
