From the community of Pond Inlet, you will travel by snowmobile and komatik (wooden sled) towards the floe-edge, an area known as the "line of life". Guided by experienced guides, ice conditions and weather will determine your exact route. Once a suitable area has been chosen, a comfortable base camp will be created. The base camp will serve as a hub for the expedition and the various activities that will be undertaken. Client safety will be the number one priority as you explore, film and photograph this, one of Nature's most amazing and variable landscapes. No other company in the world has the same experience organising and running this type of adventure. The experience and knowledge of the local guides is unmatched. Combined with top quality customer service and attention to detail, this is truly one of the classic Arctic adventures. Full advantage will be taken of the endless days to explore and learn more about this incredible environment and area. During this expedition there exists the chance to see polar bears, a variety of species of sea birds, narwhals, seals and possibly the massive bowhead whale.
