You’ll have a look at some of the wilder places in this wild land. The sheer bird cliffs to the north of Cape Dyer, the ocean trench paralleling Isabella Bay- home to bowhead whales and the winding fjords above Clyde River on Baffin’s northeast shoulder. You’ll also skirt the shores of Bylot and Devon Islands, the latter being the largest uninhabited island in the world as you steam into Lancaster Sound toward Resolute.
