Northwest Passage
West Greenland, Nunavut (Arctic Canada) | 17 Days Get a glimpse into the world that captivated early explorers such as Franklin, Amundsen, and Larsen by exploring a portion of the fabled Northwest Passage. Visit the final resting places of a few explorers and experience Canada’s High Arctic region. We plan to meet indigenous people who call this remote wilderness home, and encounter enigmatic arctic wildlife. Pack ice threatens to halt our voyage through the passage, adding a compelling element of adventure that is integral to any genuine expedition.
