Twilight in the Arctic

You couldn't pick a more picturesque winter playgournd, with the entrance to Auyuittiq Park in the background. Just beyond the horizon is the Penny Ice Cap (the third largest ice sheet in the world) and Mount Thor (featured in the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me").

Unlike kite surfing (which can be done in many places all over the world), optimal snowkite venues are globally few and far between. In Nunavut however, your playground is virtually limitless. Kiting is an easy and effective way of covering huge distances in the north. In 2012 a group traveled the entire northwest passage on kite, and dozens of people cross greenland with snowkites each spring.

With the ocean frozen 50+km off the coast and glacier covered mountains decorating our backdrop, snowkiting in Nunavut provides a feeling of freedom not found anywhere else. It's no wonder the inuit refer to this place as "the land that never melts".
