Close-up meetings with musk-oxen herds are also a sure thing on this remote and incredibly scenic sand-esker tundra. During the brief arctic autumn the slopes of the eskers become a blinding riot of colour as the first frosts change the local foilage bright red and yellow. When the sky is clear and the night is cool you are in for another treat, the dancing lights of the aurorea borealis. Swirling colours of green, red and pink often cover the sky from horizon to horizon. This trip is perfect for anyone looking to rediscover true wilderness.
