Comment
Shaped by the action of ice, relentless winds and piercing cold, the vast, open landscape of the Canadian Arctic embodies the timeless spirit of the Earth's Ice Age. A place like no other in the world, the Canadian Arctic is immersed in twilight darkness for most of the year, in stark contrast to the sparkling midnight sun that reigns for only a few months of the year.For Canadians, the Arctic represents not only a colossal part of the country's geography, made up of land linking Canadian territory from coast to coast, but also the source of the ice, snow and cold that have helped shape both the landscape and the soul of Canada. Mapped by Canadian explorers such as those who took part in the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913-1918, the lands, waterways and continental shelves that stretch from the Northwest Passage to the Great North closer to home are territories under Canada's sovereignty, and they play an essential role in shaping the country's environmental, geographical and cultural heritage.
