Join a working team of Arctic scientists to collect real glaciological and ecological field data on Devon Island — contributing to active research while exploring terrain no tourist trail could replicate. Croker Bay's most intellectually immersive experience.
What to expect
A resident glaciologist or ecologist leads a small group ashore to collect water samples, photograph ice-margin changes, or record bird colony data — all part of multi-year Arctic monitoring programmes. The scientist explains methodology in plain language and invites your own questions and observations. Working at the edge of Devon Island's glacier, with the bay glittering below, frames the science in scenery of extraordinary power.
Good to know
Suitable for all fitness levels; the fieldwork involves gentle walking on uneven tundra. Wear sturdy waterproof hiking boots and thermal layers. Pre-arrange with Adventure Canada's expedition team before departure to confirm a science day at Croker Bay is scheduled on your sailing.
