Explorers' Corner Adventures in Hiking

Hike along fjords strewn with icebergs and valleys lush with wildflowers, camp beneath serrated peaks and listen to glaciers calve. As the perpetual summer sun warms this far-north land, we discover the profound majesty of genuine wilderness.

Discover the Inuit culture, visiting three villages while hiking through some of the world’s most amazing mountain scenery in “the Land That Never Melts.” Dramatic glaciers from the Penny Ice Cap wind down as we hike beneath the towering granite faces of Mounts Asgard, Thor and Overlord in Auyuittuq National Park.

This extraordinary high-latitude wilderness provides the setting for our two-week backpacking expedition amid the peaks of Ellesmere Island. Join us on a traverse through a dramatic ice-free corridor in one of the most remote places on earth.

At 83 degrees North Latitude, 600 miles from the geographic North Pole, lofty mountain ranges lie mantled in polar ice. We spend two weeks circling the Ad Astra Ice Cap at the heart of this stunning wilderness, for an unparalleled Arctic adventure.
