    I live in Canada in the Alberta Rockies. Baffin Island amazes me on how untouched and remote it is. Most of those animals have never seen human life before. I am going to hike through those mountains someday. It will take a lot of money, mental strength and knowledge but I will get there someday.

      @@willwaltz I bet it is man. It's really how all the mountains are named after vikings up there considering most of the mountains in the Canadian Arctic Circle are all Inuit names. As a Cree native places like this are special to me.

      I haven't been everywhere, but I'm confident Baffin Island is probably top 5 most beautiful places on earth. The fact that you have the entire place to yourself (although I recommend going with at least one other person and a sat phone for safety) is a huge bonus also. Its why I started going there after Iceland and Greenland both started getting overrun with tourism in the latter 2010's.

It's fascinating how people will disregard this the biggest news story of the century.

      Janell Hammer that’s awesome! What channel? Lol. Yep, the North Cascades has the same effect on me. Connects me more, wakes me up.

      Janell Hammer also, Nurse! That is a wonderfully caring thing to do in life.

    Asgard, name of that flat top mountain?
    I didn't know Baffin Island had once Giant Trees. Earth has alot of petrified tree stumps.

      oooo you're going to have a wonderful time :) we had to cancel this year because of the pandemic. best time slot is Aug 28th - Sep 15th, too early in the year and the water is too high, too much after sep 15 and it becomes winter pretty quickly.

    I thought Id check out Baffin land because of Tony Hancock who told Sid James he was traveling there.

    Amazing video! Thank you for the report! This place is on my bucket list but I'm not fit enough just yet to hike this :)
    P.S what's the background soundtrack/music you used at the very beginning?
