Canada’s Arctic has been part of my life for many years. I started reading about it when I was 14 - R.M Patterson’s classic - The Dangerous River; a story about the South Nahanni River quickly comes to mind. My Father sent me with a one-way plane ticket to work on Baffin Island at the tender age of 16 - not too happy about it then (made enough money to get home - true story) but the seed was planted. I have returned many times to live, work and more recently to explore the landscape with my camera.
