Hiking Pesuta Shipwreck Trail in Haida Gwaii
Around Tow Hill in Masset, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada
Tow Hill is a large isolated volcanic plug located 21 km east of Masset on the north end of the Naikoon Peninsula of northeast Graham Island in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada.
Tow Hill is approximately a 30 minute drive north east of the turn off to Village of Masset. The paved road passes through the Tow Hill Ecological Reserve area of the Naikoon Provincial Park and turns to gravel. Continue driving past the Agate Beach Campground sign to the Tow Hill Parking Lot next to the Hiellen River bridge.
Tow Hill is a unique attraction on Haida Gwaii. The hill rises 400 feet and towers over North Beach. Its face consists of columns of rock formed from eruptions of molten lava approximately 2 million years ago.
The trail follows the Hiellen River for approximately 100 meters at which time signage directs the hiker to either the Tow Hill or Blow Hole Route. The two trails connect with each other mid-way up Tow Hill creating a looped route for hikers wishing to visit both attractions. The 30 minute hike up Tow Hill is of an easy to moderate level of difficulty and is made more accessible by a well maintained boardwalk with stairs. The lava rock beach at the base of Tow Hill and surrounding the Blow Hole is a popular place to explore tidal pools.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

First video about the American Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
The Art in the American continent is divided in three main sides: North America, Mesoamerica and South America. The amerindians emigrated from Asia to America through the Bering strait in the last glaciation.
North America can be divided in various places. The Northern Lands are composed by the Artic Region, the Subartic Region and the Northwest Coast. The Eastern Woodlands is divided into Northeast Woodland and Southeast Woodland. The third group is the Plains, Plateau, Great Basin and the Coast of Californa. The last part is the Southwest, near the Mesoamerican zone.
The Northern Lands are composed by the Artic Region, the Subartic Region and the Northwest Coast. These are the places of current Alaska, Canada and Greenland.
Artic Region
The Inuit is a common name for the different eskimos people. Nomad life, hunting of animals as caribou, bears, whales or walruses. They use all the parts of the animals to feed, create clothes, homes and things to hunt.
Iglu: it’s the home of the inuit in winter.
Qamutik: a kind of sledge. They used dogs. It is made of wood, bones, hair of whales and even frozen fish.
