Fury & Hecla: Stories of Exploration
Departure: August 27, 2009
Rate Range: $13,390 to $22,990
During this 16-day Canadian Arctic expedition you’ll transit the infamous Hecla and Fury Strait. Named for a pair of exploration ships that were forced to turn back when they reached the ice-choked channel, this body of water on the west coast of Baffin Island challenges ordinary vessels. Our polar class icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov is purpose-built for Arctic ice conditions.
