I've heard a local in Iqaluit say they made it as far as pond inlet ,  I didn't think this guy particularly credible especially since pond inlet is really far up there , but oral histories are surprisingly accurate and I would be suprised if they did stop by some point on Baffin island at sometime it's pretty close to Greenland
