    When you travel to the Arctic, the Arctic is in charge. Weather and conditions can be unpredictable, so give yourself extra days either side of your booked tour and pack your spirit of luck. On the Arctic ice floe(浮冰) edge in Canada's furthest and iciest northern reaches, you'll find the most magical creatures on earth bathing in the 24-hour sun. But to get to Eclipse Sound you'll need some courage and a guided tour. With Arctic Kingdom, which flies you out from Ottawa, you'll stay in a tented safari(观兽旅行) camp and ride snowmobiles with Inuit guides to search for tusked narwhales feeding at the floe edge. There's also a chance you'll spot polar bears, beluga(白鲸) and bowhead whales while you watch for thousands of migratory(迁徙的) Arctic birds.

    Ever seen polar bears playing in a field of wildflowers? In Canada, take the most surprising safaris on earth into landscapes that seem out of this world.

    Churchill in Manitoba is a wildlife supercentre, with most of the activity increasing in the summer months. Pods of beluga whales, famous for their cute faces and friendly nature, swim through the Churchill River in July and August, and you can kayak(划皮船) or paddleboard(划冲浪板) out to them with Sea North Tours(you can go out by boat if it is more in your comfort zone or you've got young children with you). On a Churchill Wild summer safari, you'll stay in remote country houses where you can sometimes see buttery white bears ambling past the windows. But you'll also go out on walking and ATV adventures to spot them in the wild. If photography and eco logy is your thing, Frontiers North runs day trips aboard a Tundra Buggy to explore the diverse lands and plants and kids will love the ride.
