I find myself fascinated by these kinds of isolated places. Someday, I may get to some of them. I live in Washington State, and would love to see some of our more isolated places shown on videos like this. Lake Chelan, northeast of Seattle is one of those places. So are Metaline Falls and Ione, up in the northeastern corner of Washington. How about some videos covering them, too? Thank you.

[@kyles5513]

That island is very interesting to me.

Don't really know how I got here with the KZbin algorithm, but great video. Super succinct, and interesting. Baffin is my next big travel plan after doing several solo trips across Central Europe, Iceland, and the Canadian Rockies. Going to hurt my wallet, but what's the wallet for if not crazy, unforgettable things like 3 weeks on Baffin, right?

Very nice video but the picture you used to show Mount Odin is not right (at 2:49 ), there is no tree on Baffin Island. This one is from Mount Odin B.C. Same at 4:05 it cannot be from Baffin.

sadly at the rate of climate change, it's already starting to happen. Also in my province Manitoba, the polar bears are coming closer to human populated areas due to food insecurity and melting ice caps, really sad.

[@andrewSUN17]

[@ShadeRaven222]

Note: the lake may be dwarf compared to our great lakes however. . Its clean. You can't swim in Michigan, you can't eat fish out of erie, etc. These giant lakes are destroyed. They are ill. This location is so remote due to its harsh weather and lack of resources only the local inhabitants live there. Even the vikings didn't last there. It's untouched, clean, home to locals just the way the world should be.

[@kyleskadeland1728]

Haha what the fuck you talking about you can swim in lake Michigan!?? Lol and I grew up on lake Erie. You MOST DEFINITELY can fish there 😂😂

[@ML-xp1kp]

Umm guys Kyle is correct. You can swim in any lake in the Great Lakes system and fishing is common there. I'm speaking as a Canadian but it is likely the same with lake Michigan as well.

[@kyleskadeland1728]

@@ML-xp1kp I live in Chicago and right on lake Michigan. Everyone is boating and swimming all of the time haha. Why do people make up stuff? 😭😂😂

[@ML-xp1kp]

@@kyleskadeland1728 watched a bunch of videos on Norilsk the other day, they all portrayed it as some hellhole and there was always some comment from "experience" about how it is better to die than to live there. Then there was this one video from a guy who actually lived there which basically went "uh I don't know what the fuss is about, i'm literally fine here, here is me walking to work". Looked at pictures of the place on google maps and it just looks like a mix between Hamilton, ON and where my dad lived in Vladivostok, but in the middle of some beautiful hike-worthy arctic tundra. So really I think these comments either come from attention-seekers (unlikely) or from a minority that had some sort of outlying bad experience.

[@marysullivan3326]

fishing and recreational activities are a multi billion dollar industry throughout all the great lakes. you sir, are incorrect in stating the great lakes are destroyed. Far from that, thankfully.

My first video of Baffin Island. I don’t know how I’m just getting here.

[@Pineconepicker1]

I lived on Baffin Island in the 1970's for 2 1/2 years in a northern hamlet called Arctic Bay. It was established in the 1950's during the Cold War by the Canadian Federal government who forcibly moved the Inuit there from northern mainland Canada.

Cool video. I enjoyed it, but please be careful when selecting pictures to show. When discussing Mt. Odin, you''ve shown a picture of a completely different Mt. Odin in British Columbia. I recognize its profile. Also, the picture shows trees on the lower slopes, and of course there are no trees at all on Baffin Island.

'...thuh island.' It's 'thee island'. When the word 'the' is followed by a word that starts with a vowel, 'thuh' becomes 'thee'.
