High Arctic: Ellesmere, Greenland, and Baffin
 Summary
Travel aboard the powerful icebreaker, Kapitan Khlebnikov, to explore Ellesmere Island and Greenland. Along a coastline of towering mountains, glaciers, steep fjords, and pack ice, view magnetic wildlife such as polar bears and walrus as well as thick-billed murres, red-throated loons, and snowy owls. On a backdrop of tundra discover Arctic poppies and muskoxen; in protected fjords visit remote villages and take helicopter excursions to view the ice cap; and on deserted islands and harbors view archaeological sites and abandoned outposts.

Day by Day Itinerary
Reports From The Field Northern Light: Frobisher Bay to Kangerlussuaq
We lowered the Zodiacs and cruised the Lady Franklin Islands, rewarded with fine views of polar bears as well as the many flocks of black guillemots gathered near the islands. After lunch the spectacle continued as we entered the ice where we found two more bears and two groups of walruses.
