Seasonal Highlights
The summer season between June and September offers the best conditions for exploration by ship as the warmer weather melts the sea ice and the region awakens.
June (late spring and early summer)
- The start of the season and the most adventurous time to travel
- Midnight sun
- Longer hours of daylight for spotting wildlife
- Arctic flora blooming
July (high summer)
- Birds breeding optimising chances of encountering large numbers
- Warmest month
- Belugas in Hudson Bay
August & September (late summer)
- Region is most accessible as pack ice has largely broken up (some routes can never be guaranteed)
- Light is softer and generally better for photographic purposes
October & November (no voyages available)
- Polar bears gather near Churchill, Canada awaiting the winter freeze
