Icy waters of Disko Bay

Thule High Arctic region

Isolated even by Arctic standards, the inhabitants of the far north – known in legend by the name Thule – have for centuries been the northernmost communities on the planet. Expect High Arctic conditions, cold-adapted wildlife, ice-choked waters, and the coolest summer on Earth.
