The Arctic carries great exploration and historical interest worldwide. Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago offers a tremendous wildlife and birdlife experience, as well as a fascinating lesson in glaciology. Historically used as a whaling base, the islands are now celebrated as a breeding ground for many seabirds, marine mammals and Polar bears.
The Canadian Arctic and Inuit communities on the East coast of Baffin Island and the West coast of Greenland offer incredible insight to life above the Arctic Circle. Zodiac cruising at the base of glacial walls or bird cliffs humbles our place in the North. Visiting remote Northern communities that welcome us into their way of life, give us perspective and further our appreciation for their customs and lifestyle. By creating voyages that offer a range of opportunities to experience culture, history and wildlife there has never been a better way to immerse yourself in the Arctic. The sight of your first polar bear, walrus, narwhal, beluga, caribou and muskox elicits a feeling of awe in even the most experienced traveller.
One Ocean Expeditions offers customized itineraries in remote and often untouched sections of the Arctic, explored in small groups and led by expert guides.
