TT Canada's High Arctic

Diane visited Canada’s High Arctic with her husband and sister in August 2023. The expedition started in Iqaluit and went north along the east coast of Baffin Island, through the Davis Strait and Baffin Bay and into Lancaster Sound and finished in Resolute. Expedition outings included zodiac cruising, shore walks, and helicopter excursions and the opportunity to take a “polar plunge”. Much of the trip was north or the Arctic Circle.

Diane will share her experiences on Devon and Beechy Islands, the Franklin expedition graves and her sightings of the birds and mammals of the region such as polar bears, walrus, Bowhead whales. This is a region of mountains and glaciers, stunning icebergs and northern tundra.
