See What It’s Like to Summer in the Arctic

Filled with diverse wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and endless fun, the Arctic is a summer destination like no other. But don’t take our word for it, see the Arctic through the eyes of guests and photographers who have experienced the region with us.  

Why the Arctic

This beautiful region of the world is filled with wonder. From Svalbard, the wildlife capital of the world, to the dramatic fjords or Greenland, the stark wilderness of the Canadian High Arctic, and the volcanic wonderland of Iceland.  

Summer in the Arctic will leave you in awe. It is teeming with life yet humbling in its expanse. Vibrant yet silent. More than anything, it is a season you must see to believe.
