To truly experience the Arctic is to understand the essential Inuit belief
that everything in nature is infused with the spirit of life. The Arctic is a vast
dreamscape of serene beauty and seemingly impossible contradictions of nature. In a
precarious balance of survival, delicate wildflowers carpet rocky tundra amidst a surprising
abundance of wildlife.Cruise North's expeditions offer exceptional opportunities to encounter a wide variety of birds and animals in their natural habitats. The sightings are sometimes unpredictable, and can be sudden and dramatic. There's the collective screech of a half-million thick-billed murres nesting on the cliffs, the silent gliding of white beluga whales, and the humorous cacophony of a walrus colony. Seals poke their heads from the water, and polar bears measuring 11 feet in length - the undisputed monarch of the Arctic - patrol the ice floes and their favorite beaches.
