Travel the northwest Passanger in an icebraker, mush across permafrot, cross the Artic Circle, see narwhals at the floe edge.
The drive for riches has motivated kings to search for a northwest Passange since 1497, When Henry VII dispatch explorer John Cabot to what is now Canada's North. Go on a polar expedition of your own to Frobisher Bay, charted in 1579 by Martin Frobisher. Investigate a 19th-century mystery, the doomed 1845 voyage if Sir John Franklin with his two ships and all 129 crews vanished into the ice and snow.
With mystery and danger comes the raw, unspoiled beauty of one the world's last wilder Nerd regions. Canada's North encompassing the Yukon, Northwest territories and Nunavut is home to white wolves, polar bears massive walrus and giant bow head whales up to 59ft in length . Fly over the greatest caribou migrations in the world, Thule archaeological digs, vast wildlife preserves and inukshuks, stone figures pointing the way across tundra. In summer, golf, fish and dance at an outdoor music festival under the midnight sun.
