ABOUT THIS REGION  BACKPACKING

Trekking expedition on Devon Island

Discover herds of wild Musk Oxen on a remote, high Arctic island. Nunavut's Devon Island is a wilderness of ice clad plateaus, granite peaks and austere hillsides. This Devon Hike will arrive at the Truelove Lowlands by Twin Otter aircraft from Resolute Bay. Here is a unique arctic oasis - areas where plant and animal life abound. Released from the continental ice cap approximately 10,000 years ago the land has risen significantly, leaving raised beaches, lakes and ponds which have become prime breeding habitat for arctic birds.

Trekking expedition on Devon Island

You will explore this lush lowland area looking for archaeological remains and herds of muskox. Then, you will head inland, following the Truelove River. As you climb, the terrain will become more austere and vegetation will dwindle. You will have spectacular views over Jones Sound and towards the Devon Ice cap. You will head back by way of the Svedrup Glacier and along the shoreline past Capes Hardy and Sparbo, with additional opportunities to see archaeological remains. This is a true Arctic wilderness, steeped in the lore of ancient cultures and brave explorers - an excellent expedition for the seasoned arctic adventurer.
