Led by the team, embark to photograph one of the most unique marine mammals on earth - the narwhal. Dubbed the "Unicorn of the sea", these shy, docile animals congregate in an area near Arctic Watch to feed on Arctic char every late summer. This expedition is limited to four guests annually.
 
Eight hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge is your basecamp as you set out to photograph these unique animals.
 
Supported by our lodge's helicopter, we visit/hike the shorelines of the shallow inlets where these whales feed on schools of fish. Four days of helicopter assist are provided for the endeavour while two days on foot to photograph other animals on Somerset such as polar bears, muskoxen, arctic foxes, snowy owls and more.
 
Photographing narwhal requires patience - carefully hiking into the coastal areas where these whales are feeding while ensuring we do not disturb them. With patience, one can photograph them for the shoreline. We will take opportunities to explore the coastline and photograph the whales as they travel into their feeding areas. The same coastline is inhabited by polar bears and beluga whales. Both amateur and professional photographers alike are welcome - instruction is provided for folks learning photography. The opportunity to safely use drones for photography is also encouraged.
 
If we're not on the coast, head inland with your guide to witness the muskoxen rut - in August bull muskoxen will battle for breeding rights. Watch the display of power take place amidst the changing late summer landscapes.
