Timed to coincide with a six-week window when polar bears emerge from hibernation and ring seal pups - one of their favorite snacks - are on the coastal pack ice, this Arctic expedition combines low impact snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and winter camping for an intimate look a the world's largest predators in their natural habitat.

"How many things have you done that you know, with absolute certainty, you will remember for the rest of your life? In the end, that's what this experience is all about," said Geoffrey Kent, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Abercrombie & Kent, "providing the kind of memories that will change the way you think about the world."
"We each interpret 'challenge' in different ways," Kent continues. "Test your mettle against the implacable forces of nature in the artic, harness the raw power of thoroughbred machines and open the door to one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth."
Abercrombie & Kent guide Mats Forsberg is experienced, educated and supremely qualified having spent 6 weeks in the area with the BBC crew that filmed Planet Earth.
"Every year, the editorial team combs the world to find the most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours," notes National Geographic Traveler senior editor Norie Quintos.
