Cross the Arctic Circle on Foot
Augustus National Park is one of the four national parks in Nunavut, and the most accessible one. The park offers an 8-12 day backpacking trip that takes you across snow, ice, rock, and the Arctic Circle. Following the glacial streams and rivers, you’ll see boulders the size of trucks, and the sheer rock face of Mt. Thor, which rises 1,675 metres. Spectacular Summit Lake is usually the highlight of the tip, as it boasts the largest vertical face on the planet.
