1 THE NORTHERN FRONTIER Journey with us northwards to the ethereal beauty of the Arctic, where you will discover dreamlike landscapes of snow and ice, rugged mountains, dazzling glaciers and the tranquil shores of sheltered fjords and inlets. This is a region of spectacular wildlife, from huge polar bears measuring up to 3 metres in length, impressively shaggy muskox and massive tusked walrus to giant colonies of birds and seals. White beluga whales glide silently through the cold waters, which are also home to humpback and bowhead whales, bearded seals, and the mysterious narwhal. Our ships are the same sturdy, ice-strengthened polar expedition vessels used in Antarctica, and the cruises we offer also feature a wide range of exciting land-based expeditions. All our journeys are designed to get you as close to the action as possible, with daily excursions by Zodiac, by kayak or on foot. Itineraries are flexible and depend on ice, weather conditions and the movements of wildlife. GETTING THERE Our journeys in the Arctic depart from Canada, Longyearbyen in Svalbard (an archipelago under Norwegian governance), Reykjavík in Iceland, Kangerlussuaq in, Helsinki in Finland and Murmansk in Russia. Flights to these locations are available from most Australian capital cities. Please contact us for further details. WEATHER The Arctic climate is characterised broadly by long, cold winters and short, cool summers, with a large amount of variability across the region. Some parts of the Arctic are covered by ice yearround, whilst others, especially around coastal areas, experience sustained ice-free periods. Average July temperatures range from about -10 to +10 C, with some land areas occasionally exceeding 30 C in summer (Jun - Sep). A DESTINATION OF WONDERS SVALBARD The Svalbard Islands have captured the imagination of travellers for centuries and are home to a few thousand polar bears, herds of reindeer, prolific birdlife as well as awe-inspiring Arctic scenery. Whaling and mining were once the dominant industries, but today, nearly twothirds of the archipelago is protected. Most of Svalbard s inhabitants live in Longyearbyen - the world s northernmost settlement with over 1,000 permanent residents - located on the island of Spitsbergen. This colourful town boasts a relatively mild climate, a vibrant dining scene and a calendar brimming with events. ICELAND The most sparsely populated country in Europe, Iceland sits where the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans meet, with most of its landmass lying south of the Arctic Circle. Despite its name, the nation s climate is classified as temperate or subarctic, moderated by the Gulf Stream. The majority of Icelandics reside in the charming capital of Reykjavik on the island s southwestern coast, while much of Iceland s tree-less interior is dominated by massive glaciers, active volcanoes and vast lava fields. Geysers and waterfalls are also common throughout Iceland, with many being popular tourist attractions. NORTH POLE Few can boast that they have ever set foot on the North Pole literally the top of the world. Getting there is a big part of the adventure, because unlike the South Pole which lies on solid ground, 90 North is located in waters filled with shifting sea ice. Most expeditions also visit Franz Josef Land, a heavily glaciated archipelago which hosts countless seabirds as well as healthy populations of polar bear, walrus and many rare whale species. The world s second-largest island (after Australia) is also perhaps, the planet s most inaccurately named country, with three-quarters of its landmass permanently covered by ice. A journey here is one to remember as offers unrivalled aurora viewing, a wealth of spectacular fjords choked with icebergs the size of buildings as well as incredible wildlife. Learn about the ancient Thule people who brought dogsledding to, and who invented the kayak. Viking ruins also can be found amid the barren tundra, a poignant reminder of how inhospitable the polar environment was for early human settlers. CANADIAN ARCTIC The northernmost reaches of Canada comprise of some 36,500 islands lying in the Arctic Sea. The largest and best known of them all is Baffin Island, which harbours a host of iconic Arctic wildlife all year round including polar bear, caribou, Arctic fox, Arctic hare, ringed and bearded seals. Seasonally, narwhals, beluga whale and walrus can also be observed in the Canadian Arctic s nutrient-rich Northwest Passages. The entire region is a birder s paradise, with highlights including the towering cliffs of Prince Leopold Island, filled with immense colonies of nesting seabird, the most common being Northern Fulmars, Thick-billed Murres and Black-legged Kittiwakes. The Inuit have inhabited these lands for centuries, and their artistic and cultural traditions continue to thrive in settlements such as Pangnirtung. Early European explorers also left their mark, leaving behind whaling and trading stations such as Kekerten that were later abandoned. 24
