Awesome Distraction.

Brrrr
Another blog to warm the cockles with the stark Arctic wilds that caress the imagination and make around a blazing fire seem like a distant dream. Great pics as always Dave.

Baffin
Years ago, I had the privilege of visiting Baffin with three friends and hiking through a section of Auyuittuq National Park at the southern end of the Island. We spent about 10 days there hiking up the river valley to the divide and then returning with incredible views of Mt. Thor with its massive sheer face looming over us. In later years, a very warm summer and rains led to a washout of the moraine damming the meltwater lake at the height of land we had reached, creating a massive flood that swept down the valley and tore out the only bridge across the river - a suspension model. One of my strongest memories was waking up one night and peering out of the tent to see a landscape very lightly dusted in snow and bathed in an eerie green light from the moon.
