Baffin trip 1, 2014

We did back-to-back trips with Mark Carwardine to Baffin Island starting in Iqaluit. The scenery and wildlife were amazing and Mark and his team did a fantastic job throughout, together with the One Ocean staff led by Boris Wise. We had tremendous encounters with numerous Polar bears and tantalising views of many Narwhal and Bowheads.
