Glide in a private Zodiac around one of the Arctic's most dramatic uninhabited islands — sheer vertical cliffs, nesting seabirds, and the ever-present possibility of polar bears on the ice. This is raw Arctic wilderness at its most cinematic.
What to expect
Your certified Arctic guide pilots the inflatable craft along cliff faces that plunge vertically into the Foxe Basin. The scale is humbling — walls of ancient granite rise 100+ metres above you as fulmars wheel overhead. Guides narrate the geology, ornithology, and Inuit history of the island as you circle. Expect close encounters with ringed seals hauled out on ice floes, and the electric possibility of a polar bear sighting.
Good to know
Confirm your Zodiac departure at least 90 minutes before all-aboard. Dress in waterproof expedition layers; splash is guaranteed. Pre-book as private craft are limited. Ice conditions determine the route — trust your guide's read of the day.
