Earth’s northern latitudes host extraordinary seasonal nature events. Humpback and gray whales make the world’s longest migrations to frigid Arctic waters, while belugas congregate by the thousands in Hudson Bay. Grizzlies gather in the salmon-rich rivers of British Columbia. Seals bob among drifting icebergs in Greenland. When winter’s dark descends, the aurora shimmers over the tundra. With expert naturalists, witness these events and more on our small-group adventures and Photo Expeditions.
