What backs it

Caleb McDaniels, 25, and Henry Penfold, 22, have completed more than halfway through their five-month, 2,300km expedition combining skiing, hiking, and packrafting around Baffin Island, the world's fifth-largest island; their recent 480km segment from Pond Inlet to Igloolik took 16 days through excellent weather, and they passed dozens of narwhals during glacier-lined fiord paddling near Clyde River.
