Magnetic North is a fascinating true-life adventure story of the 1977-79 Trans Canada Expedition. At 20, David Halsey dropped out of college to pursue a dream to be the first in modern times to cross Canada west to east by a wilderness route traveling only by foot, dogsled and canoe. Dave’s mission gained momentum with the addition of a young photographer named Peter Souchuk, who joined him en route. For the next two years they survived frostbite, canoe spills and encounters with moose, bear and pack ice. In their quest to conquer the Canadian wilderness they discovered peace in nature and in themselves.

Magnetic North is Garth Wallace’s favourite non-aviation adventure story.
When Happy Landings discovered that a limited quantity of Magnetic North was available, we secured a shipment for our readers.

"Magnetic North is a superb at placing the reader on the expedition where you share the disasters and triumphs with the pair of tender-foot explorers.” Garth Wallace
