In addition to impressive granite walls that mark the route, along the way we will be "escorted" by hanging glaciers, we will ski on frozen rivers whose ice is so pure and transparent that you can see the vertical grain built by frozen water, we will cross lakes carved out by glacial moraines that appear to have been driven by giants, and in the distance, we will saw a true polar icecap, the Penny Icecap.
Our journey will end in the town of Pangnirtung, in the Strait of Cumberland, an Inuit settlement that in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was one of the main destinations of the whaling ships of the epoch.
