Canada's Remote Arctic – Northwest Passage to Ellesemere and Axel Heiberg Islands | 13 days
This rare itinerary is intent on reaching Canada's most northerly islands: Axel Heiberg Island and rarely visited Ellesmere Island, at the top of the world - transiting famous Hell Gate. We hope to fly up to explore the Devon ice cap, one of the Canada's largest. History buffs may pay their respects to the ill-fated 1845–46 Franklin expedition at gravesites on Beechey Island. Wildlife options include sea mammals, polar bears, muskox, and possibly even the elusive arctic wolf.
