The average sea kayaker can generally cruise at a speed of 2.5-3.5 Knots (Nautical Miles/Hour). 1 Nautical mile is 1.8 kilometers, or 1.2 imperial miles. Assuming a paddling time of 8-10 hours a day, one could concievably travel 20-35 nm.
Realisticly, paddling time, and distance is often much lower. There are a host of factors that hinder mobility. From wind, currents, fatigue, group goals and moral. I have led close to 300 days of multi-day expeditions, and will cover, remembering we are checking out the sights (eco-tourism after all), between 8-15 nm/day (4-6 hours of paddling/day).
The crossing between the Canadain arctic islands to greenland, from the point at 66'39"00'''N (approx), to the nearest shore of Greenland is about 175 nautical miles (315km / 210 land miles). Further north, the crossing narrows to a more concievable 15-40 nm, however at that point you are at about 78 degrees north.
Is this trip adviseable, or possible? Depends on logistics. The northern crossing, from the tip of Ellesmere Is. to Greenland, could be accomplished after ice break-up. The 175nm crossing would be a challange no matter where it was attempted. Any potential group must be suitably equipped, and be filled with extremely talented paddlers.

Is it possible to average an imaginary number?
Yes.
Is the mean of a random variable the theoretical average of a probability experiment and is not a possible outcome?
TRUE
A man travels 10kmph first one third of distance 20kmph second one third and 60kmph third one third of distance find average distance?
It is not possible to compute the average distance from the information given. Average speed, yes; average distance, no.
When Velocity of particle equals average velocity equals instantaneous equals speed is possible?
When the length of the time is decreased more and more ,average velocity of the particles equals instantaneous velocity.
How is average speed average?
It is calculated as the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken. It is, of course, possible to go very fast for some of the time and then go slowly and cover the same distance. That is where the concept of average speed comes from.

What is the difference between Greenland and iceland?
Greenland is almost 21x the area of Iceland. Both islands are sparsely populated, but Iceland has about 300,000 people, while Greenland has only about 50,000 people. Greenland is 10-20 degrees F colder than Iceland. Greenland is mostly (80%) covered by the Greenland ice sheet which is 2-3 km thick on average. Iceland has glaciers, but nothing close to the Greenland ice sheet.
