23 Midnight Sun in Greenland Uelen village, Northwest Passage King of the Arctic: the polar bear Ilulissat, Greenland EXPERIENCE DRAMATIC SCENERY ON AN EPIC SCALE Fantastical fjords reaching up to the icy sky like mountains from some imaginary land, the strange architecture shapes of gargantuan icebergs glowing blue in the eerie stillness, the infinite sweeping ice sheets as far as the eye can see framed by majestic snow-topped mountains rising above it all, and the vividly colourful dots of human habitation punctuating the deserted shoreline – prepare for sights you’ve simply never seen before. ENCOUNTER RARE AND EXTRAORDINARY WILDLIFE The Arctic is a wonderland for anyone who loves to experience incredible wildlife. Here, nature can be seen at play along the land, on the icy seas and across the skies. This includes your chances to see Beluga whales playing in the nutrient-rich water of Hudson Bay, rare bird breeding cycles and mass migrations, and of course there is always the possibility of sighting the mighty polar bear stalking imposingly among the rocks and ice. CONNECT MORE CLOSELY WITH LOCAL CULTURE Despite the remoteness of the Canadian Arctic it’s been inhabited for centuries. Adapted to this cold, challenging life, its people have developed a rich culture and storied history for you to uncover. We’ve gone deep into these communities to create meaningful partnerships where you and the inhabitants learn from each other, sharing experiences. Cultural views, ancient beliefs and timeless traditions are reflected in the wonderful art and more that awaits. THE MIDNIGHT SUN AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS Our Arctic itineraries offer rare chances for awe-inspiring experiences. You’ll experience the eery Midnight Sun in summer which never sets below the horizon. You’ll learn all about this endless Arctic sunshine and what causes it. And, depending on the weather and time of year, you might witness the incredible natural spectacle of the Northern Lights (aurora borealis): beautiful bright bands of red-green-blue colour rapidly changing in time and space, dancing in the sky.
