The video at the top of this webpage has additional video and photos from the trip and is three minutes in length, and may take a few extra seconds to load. These photos, maps, and videos are from our “Polar Bears and Glaciers” trip in early August 2019 to a camp above the Arctic Circle on Canada’s Baffin Island, and near the Inuit community of Qikiqtarjuaq. Arctic Kingdom and Nunavut Experience provided the field accommodations, boats, staff, and logistics.

A few things in the album, perhaps unexpected: - You’ll see a time lapse video taken at our base camp – surprising how much the icebergs moved around!
- You’ll also see an underwater GoPro video taken as we kayaked by a small iceberg … interesting enough visually but the GoPro also caught the subsurface sounds of the berg.
- Some of the staff acted as polar bear guards, and you’ll occasionally see a rifle in the photos. Only one warning shot had to be fired during our trip – the bear immediately left the area -- and I slept through it!
Two maps are also included to help explain our location and travels.
