Experience the spirit of adventure and exploration on this journey with the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. On this voyage we will travel at a leisurely pace with ample opportunity to explore some of the least travelled regions of the Canadian Arctic. Starting in Cambridge Bay, we will head west, striking out into the Beaufort Sea. We will, ice conditions permitting, head through Prince of Wales Strait, making expeditionary stops on both Banks and Victoria Islands. Next we visit Winter Harbour and Neil Griffiths Point on Melville Island and delve into the rich waters of Lancaster Sound, reputed for its abundance of beluga whales and other marine mammals. Stopping on Baffin’s Eastern coast we will visit the vibrant Inuit community of Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) and Buchan Gulf, one of many deep fjords on the northeast shoulder of Baffin Island. Crossing Davis Strait to Greenland we visit Ilulissat, the largest town in Disko Bay and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We cruise among the massive icebergs, where North America’s bergs calve from the massive Greenland icecap as it tumbles down to meet the sea. Heading south we call in at the splendid town of Itilleq, scene of many of Adventure Canada’s soccer outings. We end the voyage with passage down the stunning Sondre Stromfjord, 185km to Kangerlussuaq. Onboard our team of resource staff will help us comprehend this vast land, it’s makeup, history, mythology and people. Daily lectures will compliment onshore activities preparing us for experiences on land and sea.
