Baffin Island: Exploring Canada’s Wild Arctic Frontier

Skip to


Sail across the Davis Strait into the remote reaches of Canada’s High Arctic, where sheer cliffs rise from the sea, ancient ice floes drift past the bow and charismatic wildlife thrives in one of the most untouched ecosystems on the planet. Baffin Island, with its vast, roadless landscape, is the centerpiece of this extraordinary voyage and you’ll venture deep into its seemingly inaccessible network of icy bays, inlets and fjords aboard the purpose-built National Geographic Resolution. This is true expedition travel, and your days will be guided by the ice, weather and wildlife as your naturalists, historians and photographers deepen your understanding of the land and daily life in the Arctic. 

Highlights

A view of volcanic cliffs and a small Iceberg at Disko Island, Greenland.
  • Explore the glacier-carved fjords, coastal cliffs and remote headlands of Baffin Island—home to dramatic scenery, lively seabird colonies and ancient cultural sites

  • Search for the region’s iconic wildlife, from polar bears and whales to walruses and possibly narwhals, with the help of your naturalists

  • Venture into the wilds of the high Arctic with a flexible itinerary designed to maximize opportunities for wildlife viewing, Zodiac landings, kayaking excursions and unexpected discoveries

  • While crossing to and from Greenland and Canada, enjoy immersive talks and storytelling that illuminate the science, history and culture of these two dynamic Arctic icons
