Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territory, Country of the Maple Leaf.
The Northwest Territory was a near-arctic province in Canada. The land was vast, one million and seventy square kilometers in total and thanks to its extreme altitude, it's average temperature was 40 celsius below 0 and the total population was only forty-two thousand.
The Great Bear Lake was one of the biggest lakes in Canada. It was thirty-one square kilometers with an average depth of 400 meters. The lake was permanently covered by a layer of jagged ice, making maritime navigation impossible. looking from a bird's eye' view, it looked like a giant mirror made out of ice.
On the island in the middle of the lake sat an elderly man.
