Baffin Island Expedition by Will Christiansen – Book Review

“Baffin Island Expedition by Will Christiansen” was a book written by Canadian adventure photographer Will Christiansen, a Microsoft Animator. The book is based on a 35-day pack raft trip that spanned Baffin’s Auyuittuq National Park. The journey took place from the north of Pangnirtung, Nunavit to the south of Mount Asgard.

The author describes his experience on a three-week, 100-mile backpacking expedition to Baffin Island, Canada. In addition to taking photos of the pristine landscape, Will Christiansen also created 4 HD desktop wallpapers of the island. The landscapes and climate change are stunningly beautiful, which makes the pictures especially useful for any tourist on the ice-capped isle. The book has a Chinese subtitle: “Qu Ji Na Da Bei Ji Ba Fen Dao Di Qu.”

The images are spectacular. The island is covered with icefields, glaciers, and red rock hoodoos carved by the wind. The islands are located within Auyuittuq National Park, making them a must-see for adventure travellers. Will Christiansen’s photography is a tribute to the unique relationships of people on the island and his contagious, uplifting spirit.
