Dive into the heart of Baffin Bay, a vast icebound world where the currents shape landscapes of striking beauty. Amid the majestic silhouettes of icebergs, Inuit villages, home to some of the last bear hunters and narwhal fishers, appear as flashes of colour at the foot of basalt formations. Savissivik and its frozen giants evoke a timeless world, while Disko Bay, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals natural formations in a constant state of metamorphosis.
In these lands where Inuit traditions endure amid the vast white expanse, the horizon may offer a glimpse of the grace of a narwhal or the imposing presence of a polar bear. Further south, tundra and steep cliffs form a vivid landscape marked by the primal power of ice.We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. The itinerary, landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience.
