Your 2007 Northern excursion begins at YELLOWKNIFE, in the Western Arctic.

The N.W.T. is made up of mountains, glaciers, precambrian shield, boreal forest, tundra and polar desert. All of this combined with the ocean coastline, is spectacular. There are uncounted lakes and rivers including two of the largest lakes in the world, Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake.

As well as being known for its natural beauty, the N.W.T. is among the world's largest great wildlife refuges. Eager birdwatchers gather every summer to view the migration of over 200 species of birds and waterfowl which are in profusion in many areas.

The Mackenzie River voyage takes you between Hay River and Inuvik or vice versa. This historic river was first chartered by Alexander Mackenzie in 1789. You will have the opportunity while travelling the 1,100 miles to visit a number of historic sites and communities along the river.
