Search for the Legendary
White Musk-ox
Territory of Nunavut, Canada
Join us far above the Arctic Circle on the Canadian coastal mainland tundra, on one of our most exotic wildlife expeditions, situated at a private small-group tent camp nearby the Arctic ocean. Here, we will explore new territory by water, float aircraft, hike the historically-rich land - and attempt to locate and photography the legendary blonde musk-oxen! |

It is a little-known fact that in the Canadian Far North on the Arctic mainland there dwells rare white (blonde) muskoxen. The existence of the white musk-oxen is legendary among the coastal Inuit, dating in stories far back into their history. Yet little written acknowledgment exists - even though this unusual biological phenomena has been reported time and again over the past decades by bush pilots and biologists who had occasion to visit the very remote Arctic region of the Queen Maud Gulf Sanctuary. |

| Using air recon and GPS positioning techniques they made photographic history when they located, landed & stalked a blonde musk ox! This proud animal was mixed in with a herd of 24 normal (black) musk-oxen. The off-white bull turned out to be the herd leader!
"Finally locating and
stalking the legendary white musk-ox was truly was one of the most
incredible - and spiritual experiences of this guide's life!"

In 2010, we are again offering this very special basecamp
expedition and exploratory journey under the midnight sun - for serious
photographers and adventurers! |
|
|
The expedition will begin from Baker Lake, Nunavut, where we will spend a day and night (cost included) at this remote Arctic Island Inuit settlement to meet the friendly people, immerse ourselves into their culture, and if you wish - shop for their northern carvings arts and crafts.

We will then board a charter aircraft to the remote mainland coastal region of the Back River and Queen Maud Gulf, where a comfortable & catered tent basecamp and qualified field staff will await you. Fresh food 'campfire style' meals will be prepared daily, 4-man North Face expedition tents (one for every two persons), a screened gazebo tent with table & chairs for insect free dining and relaxing, a library of relevant resource material about the area we will be exploring, a portable shower stall and sink, and a satellite telephone for contact with the 'outside world'. |

out musk-oxen herds, caribou of the Ahiak Herd (similar to endangered Perry's
caribou), Ross geese and other migratory waterfowl and Arctic
shorebirds, ancient coastal Inuit coastal archaeological sites, incredible
Arctic landscape and ocean vistas, fish Arctic char from the Arctic
streams: with the main purpose to locate and encounter rare white musk
oxen! |
