Auyuittuq National Park

Nunavut

On Baffin Island above the Arctic Circle, Auyuittuq — "the land that never melts" — is a place of fjords, glaciers, and granite towers that rise sheer from the tundra. Mount Thor contains the largest purely vertical drop on earth. In midsummer, the sun never fully sets. Polar bears and Arctic foxes move across the sea ice. This is the most remote location in our network, and we offer it for those whose loved ones were drawn to the farthest reaches — who measured their lives not by comfort but by how far they went.
