Baffin Island in the high Arctic would not be everyone's dream destination, but for Katherine Johnston, who lovestravel and sea kayak, and is fascinated by the far North, Baffin seemed the perfect choice. On a guided touralong the coast, south of Pond Inlet, she saw large pods of narwhal, circumnavigated four-storey high icebergs and hiked rock and tundra hills densely covered in tiny, vivid flowers. Landscapes ranged from richly coloured rock to steep, jaggedcliffs and rolling green hills. She will give a slide presentation on her journey at 7:30 p.m. at the high school on Jan. 18. There is no charge to attend, and refreshments will be served. The Pender Harbour Wildlife Society will meet following the presentation and refreshments.
