Baffin Island: Exploring Canada’s Wild Arctic Frontier
Sail across the Davis Strait into the remote reaches of Canada’s High Arctic, where sheer cliffs rise from the sea, ancient ice floes drift past the bow and charismatic wildlife thrives in one of the most untouched ecosystems on the planet. Baffin Island, with its vast, roadless landscape, is the centerpiece of this extraordinary voyage and you’ll venture deep into its seemingly inaccessible network of icy bays, inlets and fjords aboard the purpose-built *National Geographic Resolution*. This is true expedition travel, and your days will be guided by the ice, weather and wildlife as your naturalists, historians and photographers deepen your understanding of the land and daily life in the Arctic.
