The Tornagen Canal remains an attractive area for modern-day adventurers from all over the world, named for British explorer James Cook, who was forced to turn again when the waterway did not lead to the Northwest Passage during his 1778 voyage; It means "turnagain" in English. There is no road across the continent but there are plenty of reasons to go down this canal where you can see beluga whales, fish, bird watch and enjoy the beauty of nature.
