Treeline near Dease River
On the 25th day of their trek across the tundra of northern Canada, the snow-machining explorers of SnowSTAR 2007: Barrenlands Traverse reached the village of Kugluktuk in western edge of Nunavut, and began preparing for their 20-day crossing of the rocky, windswept Barrenlands, the unforgiving tundra beyond the comfort of spruce.
For the past two days, the guys have been working on their snowmachines, repairing equipment and visiting with high school students in the remote village and talking to local artists. It’s the longest break of their trip so far.
On Day 27, April 11, they expected to launch on the next lonely leg.
