Across the Top of the World: Wrangel Island

“For half of the expedition I was pinching myself”

“Heritage Expeditions helps you get to the most remote places of ineffable beauty with comfort and ease. I just got back from the "Chukotka: where Russia's Day Begins" expedition that included two days at Wrangel Island. For half of the expedition I was pinching myself to make sure that this is actually real. On this special expedition we met the people, saw and listened to their stories and learned of their love for and strong connection with the land and the sea. Wildlife lovers just couldn't put their cameras down: polar bears, whales, snowy owls, puffins, seals, walruses...there was always some kind of magnificent creature around. Also the relatively small group sizes ensure the most personal touch from the crew and amazing landing opportunities that big groups do not have. ”
