This 230-mile arctic winter journey will be self-propelled, unassisted, and will take 25 days to complete. The entire route lies about 260-miles north of the tree line and 400-miles north of the road system. Their trip will begin in Kangiqsujuaq, which is an Inuit community on the south coast of Hudson Straight. From there, they will follow a westerly bearing to the hamlet of Akulivik, on the eastern coast of Hudson Bay. Jim will also pass the globally significant, Pingualit Crater en route.</p> <p><a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c81a5ad8970b img-responsive" style="width: 600px;" title="Buck" src="https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c81a5ad8970b-600wi.jpg" alt="Buck" /></a></p> <p>Jim will be using his Garmin <a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-trail/gpsmap-64st/prod140024.html">GPSMAP64st</a> to navigate his way and utilizing his Garmin <a href="http://virb.garmin.com/en-US/virb-xe">VIRB</a> to capture all the excitement.</p> <p>Join the adventure and follow Jim Baird <a href="http://theadventurer.ca/stories/">here</a> as he creates and share videos, photos, and blogs from his journeyâs using Garmin products.
