High Arctic Explorer
The highlights of this trip for me were the barren, stark, amazing vistas of the High Arctic and the ingenuity and resilience of the Inuit people. I was also in awe of being on Beechey Island.
High Arctic Explorer
For me, the highlight of my trip was getting to see all of the artic amimals, especially the polar bears and walruses.
Northwest Passage
In as much as I was totally new to the experience, I found it very exciting, exhilerating, & most interesting to visit the top of the world. Seeing the ice, walking on the tundra, going where so few have gone before all added to the enjoyment.
