EXPEDITION HIGHLIGHTS Venture deep into the far reaches of the Arctic, a land where polar bears roam, whales congregate, and hardy Inuit communities maintain their traditional way of life. Aboard National Geographic Explorer, trace the rugged fjords of west Greenland and navigate the mouth of Canada’s legendary Northwest Passage in Lancaster Sound. Spot polar bears on the pack ice, watch for a variety of whales—from minke and fin whales to the rare narwhal.
