Step ashore by Zodiac onto one of the Arctic's most haunting historical sites — the abandoned 1924 RCMP outpost on Devon Island. Walk among the ghostly remnants of Canada's most remote police post, where officers were stationed to assert sovereignty over the High Arctic.
What to expect
A Zodiac skims across the icy harbour as Devon Island's dramatic cliffs rise before you. On shore, a polar historian narrates the fate of the RCMP officers stationed here in near-impossible conditions through the 1920s and '30s. You'll explore the tumbledown barracks, the cemetery, and the supply caches, with ample time for reflection and photography. The silence is absolute — just wind, tundra, and 100 years of Arctic resilience.
Good to know
Dundas Harbour is a tender/Zodiac-only landing — no dock. Wear layered waterproofs and rubber boots (often provided). Book the full PONANT expedition cruise well in advance; 2026 departures are already listing. All-aboard times are strict in Arctic waters.
