Glide by inflatable Zodiac deep into the dramatic fjord walls of Croker Bay, landing on ancient glacial ice for a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic moment. The thundering calving glacier and towering bergs make this the definitive High Arctic bucket-list experience.
What to expect
Your expert naturalist guide pilots the rigid inflatable right to the glacier's snout, pausing so you can listen for the deep groans of shifting ice. When conditions allow, you step out onto the blue-white surface for photographs and a moment of utter silence broken only by dripping meltwater. The guide narrates the geology and climate science of Devon Island's ice cap throughout. Return transfer is by Zodiac with hot chocolate and a warming debrief onboard.
Good to know
Pre-book directly with Adventure Canada before embarkation — spaces are strictly capped at 8 per Zodiac. Allow 3–4 hours; confirm departure time against your vessel's all-aboard. Waterproof expedition layers and rubber boots are essential; the operator provides flotation suits.
