River Crossing Points

River crossing points are an essential part of trekking through Akshayuk Pass in Auyuittuq National Park. Fed by glaciers and snowmelt, these cold Arctic streams wind through wide valleys and rocky terrain. The rivers constantly change in depth and speed depending on weather and temperature. They add both beauty and challenge to the hiking experience across Baffin Island’s wilderness. For travelers, these meltwater streams provide dramatic scenery and a true sense of Arctic adventure.
