Canada's North is a vast canvas of towering landscapes and untouched nature. In these remote, wild lands the struggle for survival is intense. We begin our journey at the freshwater delta off the north coast of the Yukon and go to nearby Herschel Island, a destination for many migrant birds. Later we visit the towering St. Elias Mountains and then on to Nahanni National Park, featuring hot mineral springs, the dramatic Virginia Falls and canyons that slice through the mountains.
