How about a trip to Canada Arctic North

This is a land of unimaginable size, adorned with huge lakes, many, many rivers, dense boreal forest in the far south and some surprisingly high mountain peaks. The terrain here is a true challenge and not for the faint of heart, even on a pleasant summers day, let alone a bitter winter one. This area however is an absolute goldmine.. literally, producing huge quantities of the stuff, along with oil and diamonds, making the challenges of exploring and even living in this remote region financially rewarding to say the least. As a holiday destination… less so, unless you’re a wannabe prospector, or you truly want to get away from anything remotely approaching civilisation, in which case, pack your thermals!
