Journey to the edge of the known world with an expedition to Ellesmere Island — Canada’s northernmost landmass and one of the most remote, pristine environments on Earth. Part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, he northern edge of this Arctic wilderness lies just a few hundred miles from the North Pole and is dominated by towering ice caps, jagged mountain ranges, and ancient glaciers that spill into sapphire fjords. It’s also home to Quttinirpaaq National Park, the second most northerly park on the planet, where the silence is broken only by the wind and the occasional call of a snowy owl. Your Seabourn expedition voyage offers rare access to this stark and stunning landscape, where few humans have ever set foot. The island’s raw beauty is matched by its extraordinary wildlife: muskoxen roam the tundra, Arctic wolves and foxes prowl the ridgelines, and pods of narwhals and bowhead whales glide through the frigid waters. The skies are alive with migratory birds, while the ice shelves and floes offer a chance — if luck allows — to spot a polar bear on the hunt. This is true frontier exploration, with no fixed itinerary and every day shaped by weather, ice, and opportunity. Highlights may include: Zodiac landings on a remote Arctic island Scenic cruising through ice-choked fjords, in search of wildlife.
