Canada - Nunavut & Northwest Territories
These regions are some of the last unspoiled wilderness areas in the world, where ancient traditions, midnight sun, dazzling aurora borealis, untouched landscapes and amazing wildlife co-exist like nowhere else on earth.
Baffin Island, Nunavut
The east coast of Baffin Island, from Pond Inlet to Qikiqtarjuaq, is one of the best places to see icebergs. Pond Inlet is located on the northeastern shore of Baffin Island. In the springtime, where the frozen ocean meets the open sea, an area known as floe edge is formed, creating one of nature’s most amazing landscapes. Polar bears, a variety of species of seals, sea birds, narwhals, bowhead and beluga whales often frequent these icy waters.

Resolute Bay, Nunavut
Resolute Bay, also known as Qausuittuq – 'place with no dawn' – is a small community which provides the starting point for many expeditions to the North Pole and also to Ellesmere Island National Park.
Ellesmere Island, Nunavut
Lying just 800 kilometers from the North Pole and 25 kilometres from Greenland, Ellesmere Island, Canada’s most northerly national park offers spectacular mountain scenery, huge glaciers, deep fjords, and ice shelves extending far into the sea. The wildlife found here includes herds of musk oxen, endangered Peary caribou, arctic wolves, arctic hares, polar bears and walrus.
