CANADIAN HIGH ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS
Canadian High Arctic Highlights
Northwest Passage
Retrace the historic Franklin Expedition and uncover tales of exploration in the Canadian High Arctic. During the summer months (July to September) the Northwest Passage is a journey through time but also a voyage through some of the most pristine wilderness in the world.
Abundant Wildlife
Teeming with life, the Canadian Arctic is home to some of the most wonderous animals in the Arctic. Polar bears, arctic foxes, muskoxen, whales, seals and many species of migratory birds are just some of the species we often encounter on our expeditions.
Inuit Communities
Amidst breathtaking landscapes, vibrant indigenous communities dot the Canadian Arctic. Deeply rooted in the land, with rich histories, they welcome you into their communities to share their customs, cuisine and ways of life.
