Wild wolves remain one of the world's most intelligent and elusive creatures. Following centuries of persecution, hunting, and even sanctioned poisoning by trappers, ranchers and intolerant Governments throughout the world - the wilds of Northern Canada remain one of the last strongholds - and even here wolves rightfully tend to be shy of humans and their activities.

Join us this Arctic spring on the magnificent tundra of Nunavut for a wonderful Arctic wildlife & naturalist adventure under the midnight sun! 

Featured on this unique trip are several tundra white wolf dens sites that have been varyingly active over the past several years due to the stability of the increasing musk-ox population spreading out from the nearby Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary.

Those who are diligent will often see adult wolves and their pups during the primary and secondary stage den cycles.  Wolves are very elusive, and we never know how close we can get from season to season - but we definitely offer one of the very best chances to see wolves in the true wild!

We will start this unique wildllife trip by boarding a float-equpped aircraft at our starting point which varies from season to season (see www.thelon.com/map.htm); to fly 120-240 airmiles past the tree-line, and out over the remote Arctic tundra known locally as the 'Barrenlands'. Here we will land at one of our isolated wildlife basecamps located at one of the most isolated regions in mainland North America!

Once at the pre-determined wildlife camp located at one of the last true wild wolf ranges remaining in the world, we typically offer comfortable tent-camp accommodations including private sleeping Quonsets, dining & shower facilities. We also offer an array of equipment on site such as boats, motors, canoes & kayaks to enhance the expeditions; to explore new areas and to seek other dens & wildlife.  On occasion, we set up and offer optional ground tent 'spike camps' to maximize wildlife viewing. An aircraft is usually kept at these camps for much of the time for aerial reconnaissance and emergency use. 

As the 'Dance with Wolves' trips occur shortly after the summer solstice,  there is about 22 hours of daylight, and a short period of dusk. Sunsets can seem to last for hours! 

Nesting raptors are often present in this wildlife rich region, including peregrine & gyrfalcon, bald and golden eagles, a variety of hawks, nesting shorebirds & waterfowl. This is an excellent trip for quality birding!
