AN ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
Prepare yourself for a 'once in a lifetime experience'! During this journey you will witness the migration of thousands of belugas and narwhals, a rare privilege! The journey from Arctic Bay through the Arctic is world famous. The pack ice edge of Lancaster Sound borders the Northwest Passage, where all arctic sea creatures come together. See narwhals, polar bears, walruses, belugas, arctic foxes, and unique bird species, such as snow yowls and snow geese with a spectacular backdrop of icebergs and blue ice formations. Experience the transition from winter to spring, from frozen tundra to melting rivers and Arctic flowers in bloom.
From Arctic Bay, travel by snowmobile and qamutik,a wooden sled pulled by snowmobiles, to the Arctic Safari Tented Camp. A unique mobile tented camp on the edge of the pack where you stay in joerts with (of course) double insulated walls so that the arctic cold stays outside. While it freezes outside, the inside is comfortably warm by the stove with spectacular views of the scenery. You will spend the night in one of the most remote and breathtaking places in the world.
