Summary[edit]

Description Orogenic remnent offshore of rugged Baffin Island between Qikiqtarjuaq and Clyde River. Vertical-dipping rock formation ripped by quartz shows that Baffin Island and Greenland once played bumper cars. And the polar bears are just starting to turn up from their annual swim across a wide stretch of water from Greenland to Baffin's north shore.
