The Arctic Wonders Great and Small

“The Arctic resists summary. It cannot be abridged. There is no single definition of it and no definitive boundary to contain it.”

Jennifer Kingsley, Ilulissat, Greenland.

I first went north to witness some of the earth’s grand gestures: the midnight sun, rolling tundra, and sea ice. The Arctic attracted me with its rugged terrain. I was enthralled by its extremes and privileged to watch polar bears, walrus, muskox, and narwhal. My love for the Arctic began 20 years ago, which is no time at all for a landscape that tells its stories in millennia; yet in 20 years a lot has changed. It’s not possible to visit the north without confronting those changes—ecological, cultural, and political. But also personal.

The Arctic has changed me. It has trained me, year by year, to be more observant of the world and to find delight in its tiniest details.

This past summer, while leading a group in the Canadian Arctic, I was stopped in my tracks by two inches of grey fuzz roaming between patches of flowers. It was a Ross’s tussock caterpillar, a marvellous creature that lives in harsh conditions for years before its metamorphosis. We stopped to watch the ripple of its tiny hairs as it clambered over a patch of lichen. We discussed its steady progress and sensed the wonder of its tiny life.

To love something—anything—means getting up close. While picking berries, talking with

community members, waiting for whales to surface, and seeing the sun skim along the horizon, the Arctic has given me that opportunity over and over again.

I will always be thrilled by the grandeur that beckoned me there in the first place, but over time

I have discovered the blessing of searching for the small and of remembering how the world unfolds in its own sweet time.

The Arctic resists summary. It cannot be abridged. There is no single definition of it and no definitive boundary to contain it. Also, it is full of surprises, and we may be surprised by how it affects us.

We might go north for the polar bears and fall in love with how the light shimmers over the icebergs. Or maybe it’s the precious ice that lures us, only to find ourselves enamoured with a fox, or a skein of eiders, or a walrus.

Some of us have been brought to our knees by the flowers; we’ve crouched low, waiting for a bee to land. Or we’ve stood on deck at night, freezing in our slippers, to catch one more whiff of the wind before we go to sleep.

The details are out there. It’s our job to take them in.

Choosing Your Arctic Adventure

Stretching across the top of the globe and touching eight countries, the Arctic is rife with opportunity for every type of explorer, whether you seek iconic wildlife, epic icescapes, or enriching encounters with cultures of the far north. Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic offers 19 itineraries in this remote part of the world, each providing a unique point of view on the region. Here are some highlights from the areas we explore to help you decide which Arctic expedition is the best fit for your interests.

Svalbard & Norway—Set Out on an Arctic Safari

With vast ice floes and snowy shorelines that are as wild as the Serengeti, Svalbard offers a unique opportunity for animal lovers. Watch for walruses and seals, hike the tundra in search of reindeer, and seek out the icon of the Arctic—the polar bear. On a detour through the Norwegian fjords, cruise and kayak beneath soaring cliffs and tumbling cascades. With its epic wildlife, stunning landscapes, and endless light from the midnight sun, Svalbard is also a dream destination for photographers.

Best for: epic wildlife, iconic scenery, photography

Iceland & Isles—Adventures Amid the Living Earth

In Iceland—home to gushing geysers, sliding ice sheets, and vast, lunar-like lava fields—there are a multitude of ways to interact with the living Earth. Take a Zodiac cruise through a basalt cave, hike the base of a fjord to a thundering waterfall, or stroll sea cliffs aflutter with gannets and puffins. On these shorelines, as well as in the nearby Faroe Islands, explore the cultural threads that link the ancient Vikings to modern-day Arctic communities, and enjoy the Icelandic musicians who join us onboard bring local traditions to life.

Best for: geology, birdlife, Viking history

Greenland—Encounter Epic Ice and Inuit Culture

The quintessential Arctic destination, Greenland’s icescapes glitter in a dazzling tableau of iridescent icebergs and calving glaciers that we explore by kayak, Zodiac, and on foot. Go beyond the country’s icy surface to experience cultural encounters in Inuit communities that thrive amid the extreme conditions at the top of the world. Depending on the time of year, there may also be the opportunity to watch the northern lights paint the night sky with their neon waves.

Best for: big ice, High Arctic culture, northern lights

Canada—Trace the Legacy of Arctic Exploration

Canada plays host to one of the planet’s most legendary expeditions: a journey along the fabled Northwest Passage. This voyage is for the explorer who seeks seldom-seen lands, as well as the mythic creatures that flock to their pristine waters and shores—polar bears, walruses, belugas, and maybe even elusive narwhals. Further south, along the rocky coasts of the maritime regions, we see a different side of Arctic exploration: traces of the peoples who settled these shorelines. Discover Viking villages, a Moravian mission, and other historical relics in a once-popular landing spot for westward voyagers.

Best for: exploration history, rare wildlife, maritime culture

ALL IN: Activities and excursions are always included in the voyage price.

The Wildlife at the Top of the World

The wildlife that inhabits the Arctic is as diverse and fascinating as the region itself. As summer unfolds, the landscapes begin to churn with life, drawing travelers here for the chance to witness these creatures in their natural icy realm. Because these species have far-reaching habitats, you will have the chance to spot many of them no matter your itinerary. From the sea to the sky to the frozen tundra, prepare for encounters of the wildest kind.

Polar Bears

Seasonality: April–August

With adult males weighing up to 1,200 pounds, polar bears are the Arctic’s apex predators. Spotting a male hunting on the pack ice or a female with cubs playing in the endless summer sunlight are among nature’s most special wildlife moments.

Arctic Fox

Seasonality: April–July

Small and stealthy, Arctic foxes are omnivores who traverse the tundra in search of lemmings, fish, berries, and birds. Though known for their striking white coat, in summer their fur morphs into shades of brown that blend in with the landscape.

Narwhals

Seasonality: May–October

Narwhals have earned the moniker “unicorn of the sea” for their epic “horn” and their nearmythic status. Because they can dive deeper than a mile and spend time far out at sea, these toothed whales are especially elusive, which makes any sighting incredibly momentous.

Atlantic Walrus

Seasonality: May–August

These boisterous, giant pinnipeds can grow as large as 12 feet and weigh up to two tons. As social animals, walruses find comfort in large numbers, so they are often found in sizeable herds, stretched out on ice floes or gathered in impressive haul-outs on shore.

Reindeer

Seasonality: April–mid October Reindeer roam freely in the Arctic where they have people outnumbered. These hearty animals are uniquely adapted to year-round life on the tundra. They have two layers of fur, short, stocky bodies that reduce exposure to the cold, and the ability to warm the air they breathe in.

Atlantic Puffins

Seasonality: May–early August

Iceland is home to more than half of the world’s population of these small, endearing birds that rub beaks with their mates. Puffins breed in summer along rocky coast lines where they tend to their chicks in underground burrows. Prepare for plenty of photo ops as these charismatic creatures fly to and from the sea.

Arctic Terns

Seasonality: June–October

Marathon fliers, Arctic terns migrate approximately 91,000 miles annually from pole to pole in search of 24 hours of daylight. They arrive back to their Arctic breeding grounds still full of fight and energy which is needed to protect their colonies from arctic foxes, polar bears, or large gulls.

Ringed Seals

Seasonality: March–June Named for the little circles on their coats, ringed seals are the smallest and most common Arctic seal, as well as the favorite prey of polar bears. With claws on their front flippers, these pinnipeds can dig snow caves to birth pups and maintain breath ing holes in the sea ice.

Muskoxen

Seasonality: June–September

These herbivores have inhabited the Arctic tundra for many thou sands of years. Weighing up to 800 pounds with horns and thick, shaggy coats, muskoxen appear intimidating, but they are still vulnerable to predation. Herds protect themselves from wolf attacks by gathering in circles with their young at the center.

Northern Exposure Photography in the Arctic

CAMILLE SEAMAN believes in capturing images that articulate the connections between humans and nature—a mindset that took root while growing up in the Shinnecock Indian Nation. Now a National Geographic Photography Expert who joins guests on select Lindblad-National Geographic expeditions, Seaman has spent the past two decades documenting the rapidly changing icescapes of Antarctica and the Arctic. Her polar pursuits recently took her to Svalbard, where she sat down with us to share her perspectives on Arctic photography.

Describe your personal relationship with the Arctic.

As an indigenous person, I was raised to know that we are interconnected and interrelated to everything. When I look at the ice, I understand that the ice and how it exists somehow relates to me. It has an effect. So to have the opportunity to really stand in front of it and feel that awe—that overwhelming sense of scale here—is really powerful.

What is your role as a National Geographic Photography Expert?

As a photographer, I understand before I even raise my camera that my job is to inspire people. My job is to create greater empathy and compassion. When I raise my camera here, I know that I am becoming the messenger for this place.

What makes the Arctic a good photography backdrop?

The thing that keeps me coming back to the polar regions over and over again is the unique quality of light that you can only find here. Because of where we are, we don’t really get a sunset. There is this pseudo

sunrise and sunset light that can last for many hours. The colors it creates are quite extraordinary.

How does traveling by expedition ship facilitate your craft?

The National Geographic Resolution has ruined me because it is so luxurious—so comfortable. But importantly, it’s so quiet. I feel the silence of the ship as we approach wildlife. And the ship’s ice class allows us to go places other ships wouldn’t even dare. We felt that just yesterday when observed a polar bear. There were other ships nearby, and they couldn’t even contemplate getting as close as we did.

How would you encourage travelers to approach photography on an expedition?

I would encourage people to express themselves and to not worry about getting a checklist of images. Make a picture of a walrus, but show me the walrus in a way that means something to you. We want people to go home with images that are personal, so that when they show their friends and family, they’re able to evoke some sense of what a place meant to them.

Stay Immersed at Sea

Each ship in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet is a destination in its own right, featuring superior amenities and cultural experiences to ensure that your time onboard is equally rewarding as your time on shore. Every aspect of your experience aboard our fleet is an opportunity to connect with and celebrate the places you explore—from the Arctic-inspired art in our roving galleries to the performances by local musicians and the culinary delights and soothing spa treatments sourced from our polar surroundings.

A Culinary Journey at Every Meal

Sampling local cuisine is a highlight of any voyage, and we take great care to bring the flavors of your destinations to every meal you enjoy on board. Our executive chefs designs unique and innovative menus that prominently feature sustainably sourced dishes from the regions you visit, as well as wine pairings and guided tastings to enhance your culinary experience. Special onshore culinary experiences, like a mussels tasting on Cape Breton and a visit to an Icelandic farm, invite guests to forge even deeper connections with local culinary traditions.

Sounds of the Far North

Whether it’s a soulful Icelandic folk song or a cheerful Newfoundland sea shanty, music offers a window into the identity of our northerly destinations. Ethnomusicologist Jacob Edgar curates musical experiences aboard our ships so that your time at sea is accompanied by melodies that are reminiscent of our ports of call. For select voyages, Jacob has assembled a line-up of performances—featuring local musicians whose songs bring the rich traditions of far northern communities to life.

Indulge in Our Wellness Program

Greet the day with a sunrise yoga session or unwind in the spa with a massage, serenaded by the sound of soothing waves. Our dedicated wellness spaces—including treatment rooms, saunas, fitness centers, and more—encourage travelers to tap into the natural rhythms of their surroundings. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs, and each of our fully accredited wellness specialists is also a licensed massage therapist.

The Art of Expedition Travel

Our ship interiors tell the stories of the Arctic from a different angle—through the eyes of artists who find inspiration in the ice. Artist Zaria Forman curated the first-ever ship-based exhibitions of visual and auditory works, created to express the fragile beauty of the polar regions. Stroll the corridors and shared spaces of National Geographic Endurance or National Geographic Resolution on a guided walk to explore how the evocative paintings, photographs, soundscapes, and other artworks reflect your Arctic surroundings.

The quality of the ice is much better when you’re able to transit the passage as early as the National Geographic Resolution can. As long as you have good ice, you have great polar bear encounters. We saw 45 polar bears—many of them close up.”

Self-Disinfecting Ships

Lindblad Expeditions became the first self-disinfecting fleet with the rollout of the ACT CleanCoat™ system in 2019. This photocatalytic cleaning process activates when illuminated, continuously breaking down unwanted microbes such as bacteria, viruses, mold, and airborne allergens. The positive environmental impacts of this non-toxic, chemical-free system are many: less plastic in the supply chain and waste stream, and more than one million gallons of water saved annually. The system lowers our carbon footprint and creates a cleaner, healthier shipboard environment for guests and crew alike. personal nature—internet usage, wellness treatments, and other specialized arrangements.
