The timeless lure of the North has drawn many to the upward reaches of our

planet. The Aurora borealis, the ice, the marvelous creatures, the midnight

sun, the endless landscape are all a part of the magneticism that beckon us,

call us forward on our quest. Four thousand, ve hundred years of human history

lies behind us on our journey of exploration. Northern people attune to the harsh

realities of their natural environment, cultivated ingenious adaptations to thrive in

Arctic. Only a few hundred years ago early European explorers navigated the icy

waters of Bafn Bay in search of whales, gold, a route to the Orient and in the caseof the Vikings, a new home. Our classic Arctic expedition,Arctic Safari, connects

areas of great cultural, historical and natural signicance.

Beginning in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland we set sail on one of the countrys longest

fjords, crossing the Arctic Circle. Striking North past pretty colourful houses that

dot the Greenlandic coast, well call in at the splendid town of Ilulissat, a UNESCO

World Heritage Site. A Zodiac cruise into the ice-fjord where towering icebergs

calve from the massive Greenland icecap as it tumbles down to meet the sea will

surely leave you breathless and refreshed.

Crossing Davis Strait, we will encounter the east side of Bafn Island, one ofthe worlds dramatic coastlines. We will visit the vibrant Inuit communities of

Kangiqtugaapik (Clyde River) and Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) making new friends

along the way. Well meet with local hosts; elders, school kids, community leaders

all eager to showcase their home. Well learn about centuries old traditions, modern

life in the north and how communities are searching for a balance of old and new.

Join us as we have a look at some of the wilder places in this untamed land: the

sheer bird cliffs of Bylot and Prince Leopold Islands, the ocean trench paralleling

Isabella Bay - home to bowhead whales, and the winding fjords of Northeast

Bafn. The remnants of the Laurentide Ice-sheet are the backdrop for this rugged

mountainous spine that runs from the Cumberland Peninsula up to Bylot Island and

beyond. Deep fjords cut into the range where we nd glaciers spilling down to the

sea. The landscape is an artists paradise, and have served as inspiration for many

notable artists. Sketchers, painters, sculptors and photographers get prepared to be

invigorated!

Our journey draws to and end where one of the most famous of Arctic expeditions

went fatally wrong. On Beechey Island we nd three graves, men of the lost Franklin

expedition. An errie mecca for history buffs, Beechey Island presents a convergence

of the European narrative. A base for many rescue missions, passage seekers and

modern explorers, we nd countless cairns, monuments and historical remnants,evidence of private and public pursuits. Join us for your ownArctic Safari.
