Your chosen route of travel over the 5 days is dependent on weather, snow and sea ice conditions, and your itinerary may require modification at the Inuit guide’s discretion. In addition to cross-country travel, likely to an inland lake, the itinerary normally includes travel along steep walled fiords. Along the way you will photograph the magnificent ice and snow-locked landscape, including the region’s towering cliffs which rise sharply from the sea, and numerous glaciers spilling down the mountain valleys. Pass by traditional Inuit inukshuk that have been silently guiding the Inuit along traditional hunting and traveling routes. Witness Arctic wildlife first-hand, including polar bear, seal, ptarmigan, and in late spring, the flurry of Arctic birds that fly north along the floe edge to nest. You may also visit the edge of the floe ice where the open sea and/or pack ice begin, and where the Inuit camp and hunt in the spring.
