The Canadian Arctic is well known for its diverse wildlife, rich native culture and spectacular scenery. For those seeking the truly remote, an expedition deep within the Arctic Circle offers a taste of pure adventure.
The Canadian Arctic refers to the northernmost reaches of the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Canada’s largest and newest territory, Nunavut. With a relatively small population of around 100,000, over sixty per cent of Canada’s Inuit inhabit this area, residing above the Arctic Circle. It is an area typically explored on an expedition cruise.
Nunavut alone covers an expanse of over 2 million sq km – roughly 20% of Canada’s land – incorporating mainland as well as the islands of the Arctic archipelago. From Banks Island in the west to Baffin Island in the east, stretching far north to Ellesmere Island which lies just 800 km from the North Pole.
I understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why you have the freedom to design your experience, your way.
