The Adventure Addict posted a great series of annotated photos of their trek south to the Arctic Circle.
Wow! I’ve never hiked that far North. (If only I could afford to fly to Pangnirtung. And on to Qikiqtarjuaq.)
You can’t really see from the pic, but the vertical part of the face is actually overhanging at 105°. This mountain has the longest vertical uninterrupted face on Earth, and is a mecca for climbers and B.A.S.E. jumpers. The vertical part is 1250m tall — yes, that’s 1.25 KILOMETRES tall. …

Baffin Island. The Akshayuk Pass, formerly known as Pangnirtung Pass, is an extraordinary 100-km trek through a land recently vacated by glaciers – though they line the edges of the valley and send fingers of ice creeping into the edges of it. Mountains over 2000 metres high line a route through the finest scenery in North America. In 2004 Outside Magazine voted the Auyuittuq Backpacking trip one of the top “Trips Of A Lifetime”.
Friends are looking at Akshayuk for the summer of 2009. Leave a comment if you have deep pockets and might be interested in joining us. If bears scare you, we’ll need a gun. A bigger concern, actually, is drowning or death by hypothermia after river crossings.
Obviously Akshayuk is included on our list of the best hikes in North America.

So, as I previously mentioned on a separate comment I will be hiking this trail in August. I will undoubtedly end up writing about it and I’d be happy to collaborate and help get some current information and photos onto this post of yours 🙂 I figure that could be good for both of us.
