A saw-tooth skyline of jagged peaks and glacier-carved fjords plunges towards iceberg-dotted indigo waters as polar bears and caribou roam amid some of Earth’s oldest rocks. The subarctic Torngat Mountains are an Inuit homeland, a treasury of the powerful stories, spirits and traditions of centuries of travellers. Inuit welcome visitors to join them in following ancient footsteps through a dramatic landscape - where nature and culture connect.

Des sommets en dents de scie et des fjords découpés par les glaciers plongent dans des eaux indigo parsemées d’icebergs, alors que des ours polaires et des caribous se promènent au milieu de rochers comptant parmi les plus anciens de la Terre. Situés dans la région subarctique, les monts Torngat abritent les récits marquants, les esprits et les traditions ancestrales des Inuits. Suivez les descendants de ce peuple millénaire au cœur d’un paysage spectaculaire, où la nature et la culture se rencontrent.
