The Firth is presumed to be Canada's oldest river system as it runs through Beringia, which was never glaciated. Here, on the horizon, we could see a tiny sliver of the Arctic Ocean 50km away.
Though I've spent a fair amount of time in the tundra, it's been largely for work and also in flatter areas. There are few trails in the park, and many are more described routes. We picked our way from fly-in base camp to the summit, swarmed by mosquitos, endless ridgewalks yielding to boulder fields. As the sun dipped to its nadir, still above the horizon, shadows lengthened as we summitted, then shortened again as the sun swung around again for the descent.
