Erik Boomer

A Baffin Vacation

Most summer holidays don’t involve skiing hundreds of kilometres over a frozen fjord in the Arctic Circle, but adventurers Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry are not most people. On a romantic getaway with a difference, the duo set off on a 45-day expedition through the remote landscape of Baffin Island in Canada, in search of stunning cliffs to climb and unexplored rivers to white-water kayak.

Freedom to roam

Sarah McNair-Landry is the winner of the first 21st Century Adventurer Award. Her homeland Baffin Island shaped her early on and made her the polar expert she is today. The now 33-year-old was the youngest person to ever reach both polar caps under her own steam. She has already completed five Greenland crossings and is also the first woman to be appointed Master Polar Guide.
