The trek started with a boat ride! Yep – the i2P Youth Ambassadors, and the entire team, are already having a trip of a lifetime!
Check out the photo below, where the i2P team is putting on shock suits before getting on the boats for a four-hour ride from Qik up the North Pang Fjord. Youth Ambassador Thomsen Dhont reported, “Looming walls of granite choked the fjord as the waves and wind increased into a frenzy. We set foot on the beach at the trail head as the boats bobbed in the dangerous surf.” Sounds like they has some excitement helping the folks that gave them a ride get the boats back out into the fjord, but everyone is just fine.
The team got their gear on and started their trek, with Youth Ambassador Tamara Banks reporting, “The start of the pass was beautiful… I think we all learned very quickly that this hike would be no breeze, with everyone’s packs weighing 60 + pounds.” Luckily, they’ve started a day early, so only had to travel a short distance. But still the terrain was more difficult than the Youth Ambassadors may have expected, varying from bog covered land to soft sand. Tamara said, “The scenery was absolutely amazing! We are all looking forward to continuing our trek!”
