Geocache Description:

!!! CT cachers rock !!!!

Nordicity is the degree of northernness. The nordicity index has 10 natural and human components: latitude, summer heat, annual cold, types of ice, total precipitation, natural vegetation cover, accessibility by means other than air, air service, population and degree of economic activity. The concept was developed by Canadian geographer Louis-Edmond Hamelin. Valeur polaires (Polar values) or VAPO, where the North Pole had a VAPO of 1000, are based upon nordicity. Each component is graded on the scale of 0-100 where 100 represents extreme nordicity, with the VAPO representing the sum of these ten components. Areas with a VAPO of more than 200 are considered in "the North".

This journey take you to the North end of the Wildlife Sanctuary.

!!! As always, enjoy the adventure !!!
