sledding was the main
method of winter travel in
the arctic. Today most
Inuit people travel by

boundary over the sea ice
by dog team (from

Qikiqtarjuaq) is a truly
unique experience.

Pass, a crisscross of the southern
portion of the park. Ski travel in

and solid and many peaks have
never been climbed.
