Thought it was a great read!
What he says:

For as long as I can recall I have always wanted to see the arctic, Siberia, the tundra, the tree line, and any other cold and desolate place you could name. There’s something intoxicatingly alluring about these places which I am at a loss to explain exactly. I suppose some of it comes down to my arch Canadian-ness; I just find our remote lands magnetic. There’s something powerful and indescribable about being totally isolated and adrift somewhere, and I suspect that even a brief such experience would do a person a world of good."
Does anybody else feel this way?
