The Canadian Maritimes

The Northwest Passage: Iceland & Greenland

Following in the footsteps of dauntless explorers who came before, accompanied by our veteran expedition team, and captained by Ice Master Leif Skog, National Geographic Explorer will — for the first time ever —set an east-west course through the Northwest Passage. A navigational highlight will be seeing the captain and his officers use the ‘mud maps’ made by Lars-Eric’s team, as they navigate the James Ross Strait, and re-confirm the soundings they took in 1984.

The Northwest Passage: Newfoundland and Labrador

The second of our inaugural voyages through the Northwest Passage, this expedition takes on a historic challenge: can we navigate the famously ice-clogged Fury and Hecla Strait?  If conditions are right, we’ll spend the following days exploring—by ship, Zodiacs, kayaks and on shore hikes—the islands of the Foxe basin and Hudson Strait south of Baffin Island. If the Fury and Hecla Strait is impassable, we’ll sail to the north of Baffin Island, very familiar waters to us, where the landscape is equally stunning and inviting to activities, and plenty of late-season ice still clings to Baffin’s eastern shore. We’ll explore the wild and pristine Canadian High Arctic: Baffin Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well.
