Travel Guide
Nunavut province and the North Western Passage
Nunavut province and the Arctic are cold harsh places and a thriller set here already stands apart for such a raw and stark environment and for the nature of crime committed. What really does lie beneath the surface of the ice up there?
A mysterious ship wreck with secrets that could educate us all and help save the world. The world of scientists and minerals might not sound the most thrilling for some but it is so well drawn and made exciting then we felt like a eco warrior of sorts ourselves. Worlds that are so different from our own and which nowadays are not all that impossible or far removed from the truth are thrilling and chilling equal measure.
Careful that ice is thin…….
