Chopper Time

12 days, a dozen glacial river crossings, moraine hiking, arctic quick sand trekking, bog trotting, rock jumping...1.5 days and 30 km to the finish line...unshowered and completely motivated...and then we get the news... Its chopper time.

 

"Closure of Akshayuk Pass from Overlord to Windy Lake inclusive

– Auyuittuq National Park

 

Area closure notice is now in effect for the area from Windy Lake, and south beyond Overlord, on both the east and west sides of Akshayuk Pass in Auyuittuq National Park.

 

The moraine that blocks Crater Lake from spilling into the pass is severely eroded and is threatening to create a flash flood into the pass. "
