Visit Beechey Island National Historic Site
Pay your respects at one of the most notorious sites in the Arctic: Beechey Island.
Learn about the famed site where the ill-fated Franklin Expedition overwintered from 1845–1846.
See the graves of three of Franklin’s men (along with one of a fourth man from a later Northwest Passage expedition) that are a haunting memorial to the heyday of European Arctic exploration.

Explore the spectacular west coast of Greenland
Hike, kayak, stroll, and Zodiac cruise at stops along the west coast of Greenland, a region deeply cut by spectacular fjords.
Soak in this stunning scenery, where glaciers are spawned from the enormous Greenland ice cap and produce the mighty icebergs that ride their way north on currents before being carried southbound for Newfoundland.
Watch them on their journey—it’s one of the world’s most amazing sights!
