This polar voyage takes you to the stunning glaciers and valleys of Tanquary Fjord, explores the coasts of Ellesmere Island, and calls in at some of the most remote communities in the world. During the brief summer months, the land blossoms in saxifrage, Arctic cotton and Arctic willow. Venture to within 500 miles of the geographic North Pole, and search for polar bears, musk ox herds, Arctic hares, seals, and the walruses that inhabit this icy paradise.
