Nature doesn’t get wilder than the Arctic. One of the richest and most diverse habitats on earth, this part of the world is home to a vast array of flora and fauna. From the adorable Arctic fox to the almost-mythical narwhal, the Arctic wilderness is as eclectic as it is spectacular. Imagine gliding through ice-choked waters aboard a Zodiac boat and spotting the tell-tale sign of a whale fluke up ahead. Or watching in awe-struck silence as you observe a lonely polar bear clawing at the shoreline searching for a meal. For bird enthusiasts, there’s nowhere quite like it. Catch sight of an Arctic tern as it completes its impossibly long journey from the south, listen for the sound of clamoring puffins on cliffsides, or watch guillemots plunge into the depths of the ocean for minutes at a time.
