| High Arctic Nordic Trekking |
Trek the pristine and spectacular Arctic wilderness where few have gone, far north of the Arctic Circle along the north coast of Baffin Island. Prior to departure, we will visit the high Arctic hamlet of Pond Inlet to learn about the region’s natural history and traditional Inuit carvings.
For four straight days, you will ski on untouched terrain - ice caps, glaciers, river valleys, canyons, rolling tundra and frozen ocean (generally suitable for intermediate skiers). Ski through an amazing series of valleys laden with lakes and magnificent icebergs before enjoying hot meals, weather-proof tents, and cozy sleeping bags.
Fully supported by snowmobile and komatiq, you will ski with only a light daypack, including your camera to catch glimpses of seasonal wildlife and spectacular scenery. Before departing, you will have the opportunity to visit Iqaluit, the seat of government for the eastern Arctic, where you can explore the Anglican Cathedral, the Legislature Building and several impressive galleries.
Limited to 8 participants, this experience will be highly individual and unique, as is the environment, in the land of the midnight sun.
