Pond Inlet

And the human origin.

1953 Under Louis Saint Laurent's government, the Canadian government moved about 92 Inuit from Inukjuak, which used to be called Port Harrison in northern Quebec, and from Pond Inlet on Baffin Island.

They were moved to Grise Fjord and to Resolute.

The stated reasons were a mix of sovereignty and welfare.

I forget, not Voltaire's Bastards.

Maybe it was part of Voltaire's Bastards, sitting in the Arctic, in Palawan, and then again in Pond Inlet, which is the north of Baffin Island.

That is the real north of the north.

I just love being there.

Over the last 10 years, I've really spent a lot of time building relationships and opportunities.

This hunt we're talking about, I had a great opportunity to meet an Inuit family out of Pond Inlet.

And they are just some of the greatest people I've ever been around.

You talk about the toughest humans on planet Earth.

everything they do is, to me, it's a struggle.

To them, it's just living.

But we had the opportunity to go up and harvest a really amazing polar bear up in Pond Inlet.

I just got back, what, last Friday at midnight.

Leaving Pond, we paddled for a few days, working our way towards the tundra that dominates the western side of Baffin.

It was hard to bid farewell to the peaks and fjords of the east coast after two and a half months of traveling through their majesty.

But we soon began to enjoy the tundra's particular charm.
