Third coin in the Exploring Canada series!
The story of Canada is forever being written by visionary individuals who have one eye trained on the horizon and are always ready to break a new trail towards the future. In the 16th century, the search for a shorter trading route to Asia lured generations of explorersto the top of the world in search of the Northwest Passage. Their stories of a frozen and forbidding place with ice so powerful that it could crush and sink entire ships inspired awe and fear, and made the Arctic the coveted prize of the bravest explorers forever 400 years.
Expeditions searching for the Northwest Passage did so knowing they could be trapped for years, and that much of their exploring would be done on foot travelling across the sea ice. Much of their success was achieved through the assistance of the Arctic's indigenous Inuit who generously shared their wisdom of living on the land; providing food, clothing, and equipment including sledges and dogs.
