Canadian Arctic! For many, this phrase evokes very specific and not at all warm associations. A huge, sparsely populated territory stretching for thousands of kilometers from the southern coast of Hudson Bay to the Arctic Ocean is a world of polar bears and Eskimos, mysterious and mysterious. The author was lucky for three years - from 1992 to 1994, during the preparation for the Trans-Arctic Transition, to participate in three expeditions in the Canadian Arctic. This book is about these travels. In addition to diary entries, the book contains a chapter dedicated to the dramatic, centuries-long history of exploration of this country. For a wide range of readers. The publishing layout of the book is preserved in PDF A4 format.
