A Japanese man plans to spend the next two months walking and skiing over nearly 400 kilometres of snow and sea ice to North America's most northerly community.
Masatatsu Abe's Arctic journey will start in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, and finish in Grise Fiord, a hamlet of 150 people on the southern coast of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut.
The 32-year-old says it's his lifelong dream to walk to the polar ends of the earth.
"I wanted to come here since I was a kid. I was dreaming to come here," he laughs.
This isn't Abe's first time in Nunavut — he says he walked from Clyde River to Pond Inlet last year. Still, he's acclimatizing to the cold temperatures on this trip.
"I was very shocked," he says.
Abe says he gained stamina for this expedition by walking 20 to 30 kilometres every day working as a rickshaw driver in Tokyo. His sled weighs about 100 kilograms, more than half of which is food.
He says this expedition will help prepare him for his next one, which he plans to do in Antarctica.
