Arctic birding tour on Herschel Island

This trip-of-a-lifetime birding tour takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery of the Western Arctic. Starting in the scenic and historic community of Dawson City, Yukon, you travel northward on the famous Dempster Highway: through Tombstone Territorial Park, crossing the Arctic Circle, passing over the lonely and haunting Richardson Mountains, and finally descending into the Mackenzie River Delta in the Northwest Territories. From Inuvik the group will charter an aircraft and fly to the remote Hershcel Island Territorial Park, located 5 km off the northern coast of the Yukon surrounded by the waters of the Beaufort Sea. Here on Herschel Island you will camp in this isolated Arctic landscape and view the many breeding species that come to the Arctic to take advantage of the explosion of life that occurs in the short, but dramatic, summer of endless light: a truly epic birding voyage !!
