Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video, check out this other video I made about South America's Tepuis - The Islands in the Sky🙏czcams.com/video/IJFT_F6XowI/video.html
oh, Tepuis, yeah that one was a good one too!

One of my favorite activities is just scrolling around in google earth, finding interesting places I've never seen or heard of, and then binging on Wikipedia and CZcams learning about them. This brought me to your video, thanks!
Nice hobby 😎
This is so cool, I thought I was the only one. Geography is so intriguing. Such a diversified planet we inhabit!!! 😊
same here lol
Same, I literally just did that
Same here
I was born here but canada is still so..mysterious.
I'm from middle east and I'm coming here soon for work but I'm hesitat abou it, its very very cold 🥶 I wish life there is easy. How's life there ?
@@khaled-ds6yoit's really nice in my experience!
@@khaled-ds6yo how are you surviving so far.

I find myself fascinated by these kinds of isolated places. Someday, I may get to some of them. I live in Washington State, and would love to see some of our more isolated places shown on videos like this. Lake Chelan, northeast of Seattle is one of those places. So are Metaline Falls and Ione, up in the northeastern corner of Washington. How about some videos covering them, too? Thank you.
That island is very interesting to me.
Definelty cool to find someone who doesn’t explain the Arctic in a super complicated way I would honestly like to see Spitsbergen next
Thanks for your input! I'll look into it!
I enjoyed this video! It pulled me in and I was surprised when it was over; I would have enjoyed more. I also have to say that you did a great job for a first video - keep it up! 😎👍
excellent video, this is the only way I am able to visit fascinating places like this.
Thank you so much!
And lol me too. I spend alot of time researching all the incredible places I'd love to visit some day.
Amazing video deserves more praise and views
Very interesting and informative video!!! Beautiful and breathtaking views, Thank You ❤️☺️
Bro this was exactly what I was looking for. Super informative. Keep it up my man!
Awesome video, short and to the point with lots of amazing pictures. Subscribed
great video truly enjoyable!!
Amazing video brother. Really enjoyed it. Left me in a state of wonder.
Beautiful place, beautiful people!
good video It is amazing place if you get a chance to go.
Thank you. Wonderful documentary. Please make more.
Good vid. Geography, fact, and distinctive details instead of the flight in, a pizzeria & shopping!
Wow this was great. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍
Good video mate, well edited
Thanks John!
Thanks good stuff Bud😊
Wonderful
Nice.
Great video thank you
Cool
Awesome video! I’m from Alberta, Canada. You should do a video on the Mackenzie River!
this is a very concise and informative video
Beautiful ❤
Great video...looking for an ideal place to live in 2022!
Great video
Cheers Mr Rage boy👊
Such a beautiful and isolated place. I'd love to visit one day. Kudos to the indigenous population for keeping their way of life going!
if you ever wanna see some polar bears and beautiful northern lights, come to Churchill in Manitoba!
멋진 섬이네여~!! 좀 춥기는 하지만~!!
Great video! Look up base jumping in Baffin island, it lead me here, wanting to know more about Baffin.
Don't really know how I got here with the CZcams algorithm, but great video. Super succinct, and interesting. Baffin is my next big travel plan after doing several solo trips across Central Europe, Iceland, and the Canadian Rockies. Going to hurt my wallet, but what's the wallet for if not crazy, unforgettable things like 3 weeks on Baffin, right?
Good job, I have never heard much of this island before. Greetings from Finland.
Greetings my Finnish friend. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Moika! I used to live in Turku, then Texas, now Utah! I hope to return to Finland for a visit one day!

Greetings from the Pangnirtung. Where you can take a boat from here to the park.
very interadasting
Thanks for a short video. So many sites have laboriously long videos
Very nice video but the picture you used to show Mount Odin is not right (at 2:49 ), there is no tree on Baffin Island. This one is from Mount Odin B.C. Same at 4:05 it cannot be from Baffin.
subbed, love this style. Do one of the Hawaiian Islands!
Love the video! You forgot about Narwhals though!
good video man
Dope
Wow , never thought that humans still lives on this remote regions of earth.
Just imagine the untold number of fossils from undescribed animals buried in the northern islands.
omg it would be incredible if there was even some sort of discoverie!
sadly at the rate of climate change, it's already starting to happen. Also in my province Manitoba, the polar bears are coming closer to human populated areas due to food insecurity and melting ice caps, really sad.
great introduction to Baffin Island, It helps read "Arctic Dreams" by Barry Lopez
Good job :)
Hey good vid (: love from britian
Great video! I saw baffin island for the first time while on a, flight from London to Seattle. Spectacular!
Thank you!
And that's awesome. Lucky you!
i liked your video iam from nl canada
Dude Awesome video!! have you been there??
Thank you so much!
No, I havent been there unfortunately. I hope to go one day though!
I am a Canadian but didn't know much about Baffin island but for its name and approx location. Thank you so much for the video! If you haven't done already would like to know more about the Galapagos islands.
great video. live in US but born in Sao Paulo Brazil
Great video! Make one on Isle of Skye! °¬)
It's crazy that all of Hudson Bay is below the Arctic Circle, but even the extreme southern part, like James Bay, is practically uninhabited polar bear country!
Hi I am watching from India 🇮🇳
I enjoyed your video very much can you cover More Of Canada
Hey why did you stop the videos?? You were going good. This is useful content man✌
great video...another place added to my list..that i will never be able to visit🥴🤣
😂😂😂
They drove away the Vikings, must be seriously well organized and skilled people. I saw a demonstration of their culture when Capt Bob Bartlett sailed there on the Moressey Schooner in the 1940s.
Hi, can you please do an episode on Canada's Ellesmere Island too? 😉
I'm from canada and I always have wished to visit Baffin Island and Nunavut. Although the only thing I knew about in this video (other than Iqaluit of course), was mount Thor, which I always thought was the coolest looking mountain in the world.
Great job on your first video. I learned a lot. The audio and imgs are high quality. One thing I'd say is slow down on the transition between subjects. I subscribed to keep up to date with your channel
Hey thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words and advice alot!
Treygunnz1 slower? Lol
S cool! I live in Californian’s Central coast. I am originally from Rio de Janeiro.
Cool video. I enjoyed it, but please be careful when selecting pictures to show. When discussing Mt. Odin, you''ve shown a picture of a completely different Mt. Odin in British Columbia. I recognize its profile. Also, the picture shows trees on the lower slopes, and of course there are no trees at all on Baffin Island.
I'm in Fairbanks ak. Where are you from bud?
well hello there
Note: the lake may be dwarf compared to our great lakes however. . Its clean. You can't swim in Michigan, you can't eat fish out of erie, etc. These giant lakes are destroyed. They are ill. This location is so remote due to its harsh weather and lack of resources only the local inhabitants live there. Even the vikings didn't last there. It's untouched, clean, home to locals just the way the world should be.
Haha what the fuck you talking about you can swim in lake Michigan!?? Lol and I grew up on lake Erie. You MOST DEFINITELY can fish there 😂😂
Umm guys Kyle is correct. You can swim in any lake in the Great Lakes system and fishing is common there. I'm speaking as a Canadian but it is likely the same with lake Michigan as well.
@@ML-xp1kp I live in Chicago and right on lake Michigan. Everyone is boating and swimming all of the time haha. Why do people make up stuff? 😭😂😂
@@kyleskadeland1728 watched a bunch of videos on Norilsk the other day, they all portrayed it as some hellhole and there was always some comment from "experience" about how it is better to die than to live there. Then there was this one video from a guy who actually lived there which basically went "uh I don't know what the fuss is about, i'm literally fine here, here is me walking to work". Looked at pictures of the place on google maps and it just looks like a mix between Hamilton, ON and where my dad lived in Vladivostok, but in the middle of some beautiful hike-worthy arctic tundra.
So really I think these comments either come from attention-seekers (unlikely) or from a minority that had some sort of outlying bad experience.
fishing and recreational activities are a multi billion dollar industry throughout all the great lakes. you sir, are incorrect in stating the great lakes are destroyed. Far from that, thankfully.
have a look at wales,, u.k
plenty of wild land there...
I thought Ellesmere was the largest island. Either way nice video!
I lived on Baffin Island in the 1970's for 2 1/2 years in a northern hamlet called Arctic Bay. It was established in the 1950's during the Cold War by the Canadian Federal government who forcibly moved the Inuit there from northern mainland Canada.
The image at 2:45 shows a landscape with trees with a mountain in the background. I don't recall that there are any trees in the park?
I might be wrong.
Baniff Island is larger than most countries. Canada is a huge land mass, just very under populated.
I'm situated in SouthEast on this Island, within Foxe Basin.
Thank you at 6:27 AM MON. 28-FEB-2022.
My first video of Baffin Island. I don’t know how I’m just getting here.
viewing Mon, 28-Feb-2022.
Always dresmed of paddling and hiking Ellesmere and Baffin. Great video thanks. Keep making them please. Just an fyi though, pretty sure Polar Bears are considered marine not land mammals. Not to be a 🇨🇦🍆 about it. Lol❤
Is it tropical ?
if the artic does out then, can this be the new artic?
Looks pretty much like Norway to me.
Maybe we should put a theme park there in a couple hotels, more people would know about it.
Thanks for the detail about this interesting land
Thank you so much. Can you say how to get there? I could imagine it's an expensive thing :)
Those mountain tops that had a V-shape. Some say, there were giant trees, all have been felled, they say, a petrified tree stumps.
Baffin Island is larger than Sweden. Sweden is only 449000 km2 but the 3:rd largest country in Europe .except Russia.
Cover Norway with all its mountains. Looks pretty much the same place (or twin to) Baffin Island.
Very interesting. Thank you very much.
Your illustration for the "many species of crustaceans and fish" was quite disturbing. Well done if you were trying to make a point. : ( 4:35
Can I buy and take care of these animal? Is it possible?
I wonder why there are no muskox on Baffin despite being on most of the rest of the Archipelago including Elsmere?
ayo first video? lol
Can a forginer live there without visa
I been once in Iqaluit in 2004. The Inuit people are very friendly. Next time I like to go further north. I’m Somali Canadian who moved back to Somalia, after 30 years in Canada 🍁❤.
We would like to visit this place someday. What’s the cost of living?
It’s very very expensive
I see trees in the foreground of Mount Odin. I thought this region had no trees. Aha - the image with trees is another Mount Odin in British Columbia!
Do Ellesmere.
On my list!
one set of mountains you show in baffin island looks like tree stumps.
hi im jayme
I always wondered what north canada looked like the media never sheds the light on this
Why do you show a forested landscape?There are No trees on Baffin Island.
Yeah lol. He has a picture of "Mount Odin" at 2:44 but Baffin Island is well above the tree line.
'...thuh island.' It's 'thee island'. When the word 'the' is followed by a word that starts with a vowel, 'thuh' becomes 'thee'.
I bet Loki is real pissed off knowing he's not named after a mountain
