Here there be dragons...

"I'm telling you stories. Trust me." - Winterson

Peninsula: Hope Bay to Barrow Bay (edited after to add - hardest day of the whole trail)

Some great views today

This one made me question my life choices.   It took us about 10h to go less than 15km.   So long.  So hard.  Snow packs with hidden crevices and sections of pure ice requiring icers continually on and off made for extremely slow going.  It was a stunning trail but so hard.   I would be interested to see it without ice and snow as it might just be a normal fun hike then.   Some areas extremely flooded.  Depending on the time we had both incredible blue skys with fabulous views and insanely creepy fog.  Just when we thought we were finally done, we got to climb a seemingly endless staircase.

And some atmospheric moments
