THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH

The people of the North.

Whenever Quark Expeditions ventures to the remote Arctic, we are ever mindful that we’re visiting lands long inhabited by Indigenous peoples who’ve thrived across the circumpolar north—long before European explorers conceived the notion of setting out to explore new lands. For the northern lands we visit—Nunavut (Canadian Arctic) and remote Greenland, among them—were already known by the Indigenous people who hunted, fished, nurtured their cultural traditions, co-existed with the wildlife, and were caretakers of the vast lands we’re fortunate to explore today. Whether we’re visiting a community, hiking across the rugged and undulating tundra or Zodiac cruising a majestic fjord in Nunavut on itineraries such as Arctic Express Canada: The Heart of the Northwest Passage , we are visitors to the Nunavummiut homeland. Nunavut, in the Inukitut language, means “our land.”
