Paddle to the Arctic By Don Starkell. When Starkell decided to travel by kayak the 3,000 miles from Churchill, on the Hudson Bay coast, all the way to Tuktoyaktuk, on the western Arctic coast near Alaska, he knew it would be tough. He would paddle his kayak across the bitter seas, and when they froze he would drag the kayak across the ice, all the way through the Northwest Passage. It was tough, as the journal of his account reveals. As he closes in on his destination, his supplies running out and his ocean highway freezing over, we are swept away by his heroic determination. This compelling book makes armchair travel the ideal way to go.
