For millennia, an unbelievable, unknown island existed in dark shadows. Tour the twilight of the place we now know as Bathurst, amidst the wild calls of untamed residents.
Summer is only a brief window of light etched in partially melting ice and snow.
This is a place of ancient paradox, of endless day and endless night, of endless gravel and otherworldly beauty, and of productive waters on a land as dry as the driest desert on earth. The incredible creatures, which persist and even thrive on this uncompromising land, live survival stories of the ages. With the N Magnetic Pole near its northern end, Bathurst is Canada s true north. This video has been closed captioned for the deaf and hard of hearing.
