Dogsledding couple closing in on journey's end in Iqaluit
An Iqaluit couple is nearing the end of their 4,000-kilometre dog sledding adventure around Baffin Island.
As of Thursday morning, Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry were just 150 kilometres from Nunavut's capital.
Boomer says if snow conditions stay good, they could finish their four-month journey by the end of the weekend.
He says they are trying to stay focused on their last few days.
"It's also a challenge to keep your head here because your thoughts start turning to home," he said.
Boomer says a lot could happen in the last stretch. He says McNair-Landry's mother, Matty, might join them for the last leg.
McNair-Landry has been retracing the trip her parents, Matty McNair and Paul Landry took by dog team twenty-five years ago.
