The Arctic
Explore the top of the world and experience the stark beauty of the Arctic, where polar bears reign and blue ice floats serenely on the horizon. Here it is silent and still one moment, a cacophony of migrating birds, barking harp seals and crackling icebergs the next. From the Labrador Sea off the coast of Greenland—a vast and remote island almost completely covered in permanent ice, full of rugged mountain peaks and dramatic fjords—witness this world awakening from its winter slumber and embracing the midnight sun.
