ABOUT THIS REGION  WILDLIFE WATCHING

Tour to the floe edge to view arctic wildlife

Journey to the edge of the ice in search of narwhal, polar bears, beluga whales, bowhead whales and other arctic wildlife in this rich ecosystem on this wildlife watching adventure. The floe-edge is the name given to the area where the frozen ocean meets the open ocean. At the northern tip of Baffin Island lies the small Inuit community of Pond Inlet. The adjacent waters around Baffin Island and Bylot Island contain the richest proliferation of marine mammals in the eastern Arctic, including concentrations of Narwhal, Bowhead and Beluga whales. There are also many Harp, Bearded and Ringed Seals along with wandering Polar Bears, Walrus and migratory birds enroute to their summer nesting grounds.

Tour to the floe edge to view arctic wildlife

This tour takes you to the floe edge on a five day/four night camping trip using large sleds pulled by small snowmobiles. The highlight of the trip is to observe the seals and whales waiting for the ice to melt in order that they may enter the rich feeding grounds of Lancaster and Eclipse Sounds, Navy Board Inlet and Milne Inlet where the Narwhal will have their young. We may also sight Walrus, Polar Bear, and the rare Bowhead Whale. Migratory arctic birds are numerous, stopping off at the floe edge to scavenge from the bears hunting seals. Join us on this spectacular journey to the best of arctic wildlife encounters.
