Baffin Island Coastal Tundra, Canada

This is fourth location on my trip around the world. I am in Baffin coastal tundra, Canada. Baffin Island is the fifth biggest island in the world and a lot of the island is covered by Tundra. When I got there it was freezing and very foggy. I went on a hike around the area I saw lots of different landscapes, there are mountains, valleys, and many fjords. I couldn’t see many plants or trees. I could only see a few animals, the tour guide said that they were artic hares and foxes.
Many archaeologists come to this tundra to dig up remains and do scientific research on this tundra. Also a lot of tourists come here to see this amazing place (some crazy tourist even go base jumping).
