The Floe Edge

The most alive place on Earth.

Where the frozen sea breaks into open ocean, the entire Arctic comes to feed. Narwhal surface in pods. Polar bears patrol the ice. Seabirds wheel overhead and seals haul out in the sun.

We take you to the edge by snowmobile and qamutik, set camp on the sea ice, and wait with you for the moment the water moves, the way Inuit have read this coast for generations.

Born on this coast

We don't visit the Arctic. We're from it.

Nunavut Experience Outfitting is Inuit-owned and run from Qikiqtarjuaq. The big southern companies fly in for a season, we've read this ice our whole lives. When you travel with us, your money stays in the community, and your guide grew up on the land you're standing on.

That's the difference between seeing the Arctic and being welcomed into it.
