Connect to the North Pole and experience a sense of discovery that is not possible anywhere else. Where the world can't find you...
TIPS & TOPS ARCTIC WATCH WILDERNESS LODGE:

- A generator provides electricity in the cabins from early morning to 11 p.m. There is no electricity at night, not that you need it under the midnight sun
- Experience gourmet cuisine inspired by every province, from locally sourced Arctic Char and Baffin Bay turbot to Alberta Organic Beef, French-Canadian cheeses and more
- Before or after a meal, relax, chat or attend a lecture in the Great Room of the main lodge or explore the extensive Arctic Library and Interpretive Centre with local artifacts, maps and 42 million-year-old fossils
- Departure from Yellowknife by private charter to Nunavut
