Enchanted by Ellesmere Island: Nine days backpacking Quttinirpaak National Park

Muskoxen up close, wolves howling, glaciers with waterfalls and blue glacier ice, ice caps stretching to the horizon, and more!

A 9-day high Arctic wilderness backpacking trip to Quttinirpaaq National Park (June 30 - July 8, 2022). The Park is located on the northeastern corner of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada and is the second most northerly park on Earth after Northeast Greenland National Park.

Happy to hear from you! Please feel free to comment below.

Thanks to Glen Dickinson, Wade Henry and Joseph McKenna for the excellent adventure!! A big thanks also to Joe and Wade for the gorgeous photos and video. Narration comes from my daily trip audiodiary.

Special thanks to Barb and Jenn and the rest of the Parks Canada team for generous help in making the trip go so well! Transportation was from Resolute NU, via the excellent Parks Canada "Top of the World Charter".
