Happy traveling. :-)High Arctic AdventureThe magic and mystery of the far north can hardly be escaped as we once again combine its landscapes, people and communities into our favourite High Arctic adventure. Beginning in Canada, we will undertake an exploration of Devon Island before visiting Grise Fiord - the community with the honour of being the furthest north in Canada. From here, we will embark on our attempt to sail further north (dependant on ice conditions, of course!) than we have before into the Kane Basin in Smith Sound. Here the vista should be filled with ice - a perfect scene for photographers! Heading south we will visit Cobourg Island, Bylot Island, the fjords of the Buchan Gulf, Isabella Bay and the north coast of the Cumberland Peninsula. Bird sightings should be rich, and we will have a host of naturalists to keep us busy out on deck, on shore and in Zodiacs to observe them. We end our journey in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut. Even though this itinerary focuses heavily on photography and birding, we will complete the resource team with our usual complement of specialists including a musician, archaeologists and Inuit culturalists. Baffin Expedition: Arctic 2008Join the Walrus Foundation and Adventure Canada as we explore the east side of Baffin Island, one of the world's great coastlines. The remnants of the Laurentide Icesheet is the backdrop for this rugged mountainous spine that runs from the Cumberland Peninsula up to Bylot Island and beyond to Devon and Ellesmere. Deep fjords cut into the main Baffin range where we find glaciers spilling down to the sea. The landscape is an artist's paradise, and we will make time for sketching and painting with interactive workshops and lectures from artists familiar with Baffin Island. Join us as we have a look at some of the wilder places in this untamed land: the sheer bird cliffs to the north of the Cumberland Peninsula, the ocean trench paralleling Isabella Bay - home to bowhead whales, and the winding fjords above Clyde River on Baffin's northeast shoulder. We'll skirt the shores of Bylot and Devon Islands, as we steam into Lancaster Sound toward Qausuittuq (Resolute Bay).
