IS THIS TRIP FOR YOU?
Specifically designed for the wildlife photographer, this trip requires both patience and flexibility. Nature is not scripted. There will be days when animals don't appear. The Arctic is a vast expanse of ice, with space for polar bears to roam. The true experience of the Arctic requires patience and the understanding that there can be long stretches spent waiting in one spot for just the right moment. If this sounds familiar, you are most likely a wildlife photographer. This trip is for you!
Our expedition typically include participants from all over the world. A laid back, open-minded and patient outlook is important.
What Level of Difficulty
Arctic Kingdom's expeditions are not overly active, but there can be long days of travel via snowmobile.
What to Expect
This expedition is designed around viewing Arctic wildlife, and the appreciation of rarely-seen animals in their natural environment. However, there is more to this stunning vista of ice, land, and sea than the wildlife that inhabits it. For centuries, these creatures have shared this wilderness with the Inuit people.
We encourage our expedition participants to understand and be sensitive to the cultural and historical ways of the Inuit, including their traditional subsistence hunting lifestyle. You may see evidence of hunting, including dead animals, as you wander through the gateway communities. Examples include the stretching of seal skin boots or gloves, Inuit husky dog teams being fed Arctic Char or seal meat. While out on the expedition we may also come across an Inuit hunting party returning from a hunt. If you are open to the experience, these sights can provide a window into cultural traditions that stretch back for generations, existing in harmony with the wild Arctic.
