About this product

Product Information

After his astounding 12,000-mile canoe trip from Winnipeg down to the Amazon (recounted in his bestseller Paddle to the Amazon on page 48), Don Starkell decided to paddle a kayak from Hudson Bay 3,000 miles through the Northwest Passage. This is Don's diary of this journey from Churchill, Manitoba, to Tuktoyaktuk, close to Alaska, a voyage by kayak (paddled on water or dragged on a sled over the ice) that took him three Arctic summers and almost cost him his life. Through this compelling book we find ourselves sharing his blazing, driving determination to reach his goal, as he closes in on his destination, with his supplies running out and his ocean highway freezing over, making death a near certainty. Armchair travel at its best.

  • An incredible kayak adventure saga

    One of the best kayak adventure books ever written. His determination and honest storytelling record both his accomplishments and mistakes connecting the reader to the adventure and land where it takes place. The beautiful and haunting descriptions of the arctic in all its wonder immerse the reader into this epic tale.

  • Paddle to the Arctic

    After reading and throughly enjoying Paddle to the Amazon by Don Starkell, I purchased his second book, Paddle to the Arctic. As with his first book, I am totally entranced by the writer's single-minded determination to accomplish his stated goal. His mental toughness is matched by his physical toughness, even though he was in his 50's when attempting his Arctic voyage. I recommend both of Don Starkell's books.
