The Arctic
Polar bears, ice that has never known summer, and the silence at the top of the world.
The Arctic is the planet's great emptiness — and in that emptiness is an ecology of extraordinary richness. Svalbard at 78° North hosts polar bears, walrus, Arctic fox, and seabird colonies of a million birds. Greenland's fjords are geological history books, the ice sheet 3 kilometres thick in places. Iceland's midnight sun and active volcanoes offer a different flavour of high-latitude drama. These are expedition destinations — we travel by ice-capable ship with scientists and go where conditions allow.
