Is this place for real? Where polar bears hunt beluga whales in Arctic Canada
I had already been living at sea for over a month aboard the Ocean Endeavour with Adventure Canada when I first heard whispers about a very special place.

In fact, I’ve become so obsessed that I am now an expedition guide, spending roughly half the year at sea in Antarctica and the Arctic. And I’m not slowing down anytime soon. I’ve already started a three-month season with Adventure Canada in the Arctic for this summer in Canada and Greenland. These polar places are almost inaccessible. The easiest and most efficient way to visit is by expedition ship. Most of the year, sea ice locks the Arctic...
