3. Don’t you ever get
tired of planning to go
on vacation.
Do you ever feel that
you need to get a
break from filing
papers for your boss.
Oh come on I know
you do who doesn’t
lets pick a place far
away from work and a
mean yelling boss.

national park located on Baffin
Island in Nunavut. It features the
many terrains of arctic wilderness
such as fjords glaciers and ice
fields.

Nunavut’s aboriginal people.
Auyuittuq means “the land that
never melts”. Mountain climbers all
around the world come to this
park to climb mount Asgard.

7. Traditionally, dog
sledding was the main
method of winter travel in
the arctic. Today most
Inuit people travel by
snow machine, but a few
still maintain dog teams.
A spring trip to the park
boundary over the sea ice
by dog team (from
Pangnirtung or
Qikiqtarjuaq) is a truly
unique experience.
8. Most skiers come to ski Akshayuk
Pass, a crisscross of the southern
portion of the park. Ski travel in
Akshayuk Pass, is best
accomplished either along the
summer trail or with the aid of
crampons on the river ice.
However, if you think of ski
mountaineering as an alpine
adventure involving skiing,
exploration and climbing,
Auyuittuq National Park offers
unlimited possibilities. The rock
is rough granite, the ice is steep
and solid and many peaks have
never been climbed.
9. Snow machines are
used in the national
park. Guides and
outfitters can provide
snow machine
transportation to the
park boundary from
Pangnirtung or
Qikiqtarjuaq. This
activity lasts a week
10. Camping equipment should
be lightweight and durable,
and able to withstand harsh
conditions such as cold
weather and strong winds.
As fires are not allowed,
backcountry campers will
have to carry white gas (or
naptha) and portable
stoves.
Visitors should phone the
suppliers ahead of time to
ensure that it is in stock.
11. Auyuittuq is a wilderness
park that is very remote
and the dangers are real.
River crossing, avalanche
risks, rock fall, polar
bears and extreme
weather conditions.
Always have a guide with
you watch for any signs
and warnings of danger
be prepared for a storm
or worse.
12. Auyuittuq has so
many beautiful
mountains and
landscapes. That
will take your breath
away here are a few.
Mount Thor
Mount Asgard
Maktak fiord delta
13. This feature makes the site

its remoteness. Camping is
allowed, with the only official
site being at the entrance to
the Akshayuk Valley near
Overlord Peak.
No has ever accomplished
climbing the entire mountain
due to the weather conditions.
But who knows you might be
the first one.
14. Thousands of people from all over the world
come to just climb the two twin mountains.
Its one heck of a popular place that some
many people wish to reach the top.
