Photograph by Lee NarrawayEric and Sarah McNair-Landry—an adventurous brother-sister team from Baffin Island—grew up with the Arctic Ocean and sled dogs in their backyard. Both have trekked across the polar regions since they were teens. Last year, on a Nat Geo Young Explorers grant, the two kite-skied over two thousand miles through Canada’s arctic archipelago, fending off polar bears and coping with unfavorable winds and melting ice along the way.
