We will start this unique Arctic kayak expedition by boarding a charter boat or aircraft at Baker Lake, Nunavut (see www.thelon.com/map.htm); to fly 200(+/-) airmiles out over the remote Arctic tundra known locally as the 'Barrenlands'. Here we will land at our starting point near the Nunavut/ NWT boundary on the Thelon River: one of the most isolated regions in mainland North America!

Here
participants will meet with the leaders and equipment, and embark on a
truly remarkable exploratory paddle. |
|
En-route we spend time hiking and exploring the magnificent hills and tundra region, and camp 'in style' amidst the secret hollows and hills... |
|
|
|
Here lies the opportunity to discover ancient archeological sites, and often find tent-rings indicating old encampments, often with arrowheads, spearpoints and stone tools and just scattered about on the ground |
|
- as if the ancient Inuit hunters were here just yesterday, instead of centuries ago.. |
|
 |
As the
Thelon River is famous as a wildlife-rich region, you may well encounter
musk-oxen, moose, white tundra
wolves, barrens grizzly, wolverine, and a variety of migratory waterfowl, birds-of-prey & exotic shorebirds. |
|
Depending on the size of the group, often we set out food caches in advance, making it so we will be able to travel light in the kayaks - averaging 6-10 miles per day, with plenty for wildlife viewing, fishing, exploring or just relaxing! |
 |
 |
Quality camps and abundant fresh-food gourmet meals are prepared & served in 'style' daily, after a long day exploring and paddling the remote waters. |
|
Escorted by qualified kayak instructor and naturalist trip leaders, this is truly a wonderful and unique kayak adventure in Canada's mainland Arctic! |
