Cruise the starkly beautiful landscapes of the Canadian Arctic, where the icy seas and desolate tundra are home to a surprisingly diverse population of plant and animal life. You’ll find thriving species such as arctic hare, ptarmigan and muskoxen happily feeding on the abundant berries, heather and moss. This frozen land is also the historical home of around 200,000 Inuit, whose rich cultures and traditions are still found in settlements scattered across the north. Summer is the only time to visit, and the long daylight hours allow plenty of time for exploring.
