Canada & The North

Canada & The North

Earth’s northern latitudes host extraordinary seasonal nature events. Humpback and gray whales make the world’s longest migrations up the Pacific Coast to frigid Arctic waters, while belugas congregate by the hundreds where the Churchill River meets Hudson Bay. Grizzlies gather in the salmon-rich rivers of British Columbia. Seabirds nest in massive rookeries in Scotland’s Western Isles, and seals bob among drifting icebergs off Greenland's crenellated coast. When winter’s darkness descends, the aurora shimmers over the planet's polar regions. Our unique northern itineraries witness such events at intimate range, with interpretation from expert naturalists.
