High Arctic Explorer (PGR) - 12 days

The High Arctic Explorer is truly a voyage of adventure and discovery. We will sail out and have some fun investigating the area that challenged the famous explorers of the past. This beautiful but extreme environment is still remote and wild, and to get the best out of it, we will relax and 'go with the floe'. Travel in this region relies on understanding sea ice, and as many explorers before us have found, is truly a 'moveable feast'. We will be visiting an area that overflows with history, and is also renowned for its rare and spectacular wildlife, including polar bear, narwhal and walrus. This is wilderness at its most extreme and beautiful, with towering cliffs and glaciers, flowing tundra and ice in all its forms. We will explore both the eastern Canadian High Arctic and the northwest coast of Greenland, travelling to places that very few people have ever seen, exploring new areas and the discovering new lands. We will also visit some of the world's most remote communities, where we will be shyly welcomed by local Inuit and introduced to both the modern and ancient aspects of their culture.
