Itineraries: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, United States
"We’re excited to offer this opportunity to see and photograph up to 20-30 polar bears at a time in a unique setting on the edge of the Arctic Refuge. Each fall large numbers of polar bears swim to Barter Island from their summer hunting grounds on the pack ice of the Beaufort Sea, drawn by an enticing food source provided by local Inupiat Eskimo hunters. Fall is whaling season, when traditional whaling crews go out in open boats on a hunt that is sacred to their culture. When a whale is harvested, the whole community in the small Barter Island village of Kaktovik takes part in the butchering and sharing of the bounty. The remains of the whale carcass is then dragged down to the "w"

Itineraries: Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska, United States
"One of several spectacular mountain lakes in the northwest corner of Gates of the Arctic National Park is the setting for this trip, with rugged peaks soaring above the sweeping expanse of tundra. We pick these remote locations both for their remarkable beauty and the abundant wildlife. At this time of year, we can see hundreds to thousands of caribou a day, making their way south in a steady stream across the land.

This trip is a photographer’s dream??he tundra is a multi-textured tapestry, ablaze with colors, and the caribou bulls are in their glorious prime, with sleek brown sides and white ruffs, often set off by blood-red antlers as they shed their velvet. In addition, it

Itineraries: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, United States
"Rafting the Kongakut is a classic Arctic river experience. Beginning in the heart of the mountains, we paddle this fast-paced river through beautiful wide valleys and exciting canyons, to the expansive vistas of the take-out point in the last foothills before the plains. From a high point above this camp, you can get an unobstructed view of the entire coastal plain and the Arctic Ocean beyond it, disappearing into the north horizon.

We choose to avoid the crowds in June and offer trips in July, when you can experience the height of the Arctic summer, and in August. Our late August trip is timed to catch a large run of Arctic char coming up the river, so in addition to great rafting an"

Itineraries: Western Arctic, Alaska, United States
"The Nigu River merges with the Etivluk, which then flows north into the vast Colville River drainage northwest of Gates of the Arctic National Park. These remote, rarely run rivers carve a course from within the mountains out across the rolling tundra of the north slope, offering an exceptional wilderness experience even by Brooks Range standards. The flat water allows for relaxed paddling and great opportunities to watch for birds and animals. We’re likely to see grizzly bears, moose and hundreds to thousands of migrating caribou, as well as spawning arctic char travelling up the river.

Even by Brooks Range standards, this area is "way out there", with an other-worldl"

Itineraries: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, United States
"We’re pleased to offer this trip on the 50th anniversary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, as a way of honoring and continuing the legacy of Olaus and Mardy Murie. The Muries were leaders of a pioneering scientific research expedition in the Sheenjek River valley in the summer of 1956, and they played a key role in the foresighted creation of what became the Arctic Natl. Wildlife Refuge, to protect this unique, vast arctic ecosystem.

The Sheenjek valley remains as beautiful today as it did when the Muries fell in love with it. The river meanders gently across the wide valley, surrounded by rolling mountain slopes covered with an incredible autumn carpet of reds and golds. O"
