Canada's Arctic Mountains

Little known, but none-the-less spectacular, the northeast coast of Baffin Island displays nearly a thousand kilometres of deep fiords, glaciers, and jagged peaks. This view, at latitude 72 degrees North, was taken at midnight on 15 July. The granite spires are probably only seen with any regularity by Inuit caribou hunters from the small settlement of Clyde River.
