Canada
For the explorer who seeks seldom-seen lands, as well as elusive muskoxen, polar bears, walruses, belugas, and the elusive narwhal. 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.

Our Ships in the Arctic
Wild Personalities: Polar Bear
With enhanced hunting abilities, seemingly white fur (it’s actually clear, but some cool optical tricks make it look white) to camouflage them in their icy environment, and black skin to soak in the sun’s rays, polar bears are the Arctic’s apex predator.
The Dazzling Grandeur of Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord
Extending about 60 miles and chock-full of icebergs, the Ilulissat Icefjord is in a class by itself. And now, a brand-new visitor's center will heighten your experience and bring you on an extraordinary journey into Greenlandic nature and culture.
Reindeer Games: Adaptation in Arctic Svalbard
Guests on a Lindblad-National Geographic expedition have the opportunity to witness reindeer in the Arctic Circle archipelago of Svalbard where these endemic, mythical creatures have adapted to life year-round among snow fields, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and deep fjords.
