Explore the Canadian High Arctic, Canada

A region of raw natural beauty, the Canadian High Arctic is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and extended periods of darkness. Explorers long sailed the treacherous waters in search of the famed Northwest Passage; Croker Bay features dramatic coastal cliffs and Arctic wildlife, frequently spotted amid its iceberg-studded waters. Beechey Island is the final resting place for members of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition, while Dundas Harbour was once a remote outpost for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and became a base for various Arctic expeditions.
