Day 9 - Tuesday - Aug 12, 2025
National Geographic Resolution, purpose-built to ply polar waters, navigates the Northwest Passage following nature's path-dependent on ice and weather conditions. Taking cues from nature, follow wildlife, stop for hikes on the tundra, or drop anchor in a beautiful fjord or an icy bay to explore and kayak beneath massive ice sculptures and soaring cliffs. Cross the top of the Northwest Territory of Canada to search for polar bear, ringed seals, Arctic foxes, musk oxen, and walruses. Along the way, explore ice-studded channels and glacier-carved islands that stretch for hundreds of miles-a stunning display of raw geology. Sail past the northernmost part of mainland North America through the Bellot Strait, one of the narrowest and most infamous straits of the passage. Visit Devon Island and take a walk with your ship's archaeologist to learn about the Thule people-ancestors of the modern Inuit-that once inhabited this region. History and culture are also on the itinerary. Learn about the Inuit peoples who have hunted and fished here for thousands of years, and hear heroic stories of the early explorers: Roald Amundsen, John Ross, William Edward Parry, and James Clark Ross, among others.
