The departure for explorers looking for sensations near the Polar Circle can be in Greenland. Its end-of-the-world looks offer the opportunity to discover its most beautiful regions by sea kayak. Through this activity, travelers will be amazed by the sight of ice floes, icebergs and the ice cap. As for walking enthusiasts, it will be possible for them to climb to the highest peaks and after all the effort they have incurred, they can take the time to enjoy the wildlife around because there are certainly some arctic foxes, bears, and orcas in the background.
In an escapade on the side of the Northern Circle, there is nothing better than stopping at the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Here, adventurers can discover the area's wild side, take a course in the vast ice fields, or go polar snorkeling with seals. Those who want to enjoy the midnight sun will be pleased to know that cruises are organized precisely at this time of year. They will then have the chance to tour the archipelago, passing Ni-Alesund, a mining village, and at the ends of Kvitøya, a giant ice cap where massive bands of walruses tend to intimidate the shores. Ships can also pass through the Diskobukta zone to spot the whales.
Another activity to consider for lovers of Arctic adventures is visiting Canada's national parks. The islands of Nunavut are to be privileged. They are isolated, and wild quarters can be discovered by hiking. Also, ice caps, wandering caribou and muskoxen can be observed. For ski enthusiasts, the polar parks on Baffin Island are perfect for this type of activity. It is even possible to go snowmobiling or dog sledding. Those who want to observe wildlife may be lucky enough to see narwhals, beluga whales, bears, seals or flocks of snow geese. But to see grizzly bears, you must stop at Ivvavik National Park.
Lapland is an excellent choice for continuing the discovery. Whether the quest starts near Finland, Sweden or Norway, it is possible to go dog sledding, snow hiking or reindeer hiking, especially hunting for the Northern Lights. It is even possible to meet the indigenous peoples, specifically the Sami. ◄
