Arctic
Whether it’s navigating the fabled Northwest Passage, an exploration of Greenland’s coast, or an entire circumnavigation of the North Pole, a voyage through the frigid wastes north of the Arctic Circle is an extraordinary experience, an adventure that makes you revise how you view the world around you. From ship and aboard a helicopter, the natural landscapes are astounding, the gargantuan ice floes both managing to appear both savage and tranquil; the sound of calving glaciers as clear a demonstrations of nature’s terrible power as you’ll ever hear; cathedral-size icebergs dotting the waters, dwarfing all around them. Between some of earth’s most remote communities and landscapes untouched by human hand, the wildlife too is equally memorable: the walruses of Svalbard’s Moffen Island, the musk ox and arctic fox, and of course the grand beast of the top end, the majestic polar bear. A journey into the Arctic is a discovery of one of earth’s true wildernesses.
