The Arctic Express

After a short refreshment, you will meet up with your guide again to review your upcoming four days of a unique experience.

Overnight stay in Whitehorse.

The “Our Lady of Victory Church” is Inuvik’s most famous landmark. Its structure and shape were designed to withstand the rough, cold climate. You surely will be impressed by this building, a church bearing no resemblance to any other church in the world, as the travel writer Robin Esrock once said.

The church’s interior is decorated with paintings by the Inuit artist Mona Trasher. If weather conditions allow, you will be able to book a flight over the enormous Mackenzie Delta with its vast amounts of water.

Built as a replacement for the old ice roads, it is designed to ensure a year-round connection of the people living in northern solitude to civilization.

The highway, built on permafrost and planned for 50 years, will likely remain a constant construction site due to the climatic conditions it is situated in, making every drive an adventure in itself.

Nonetheless, the seemingly endless landscapes in view will make every kilometre a pleasure.

Last but not least, you will make an experience most people around the world will never make: you will touch the icy cold water of the Arctic ocean with your big toe.

After all, is done, we will drive back to Inuvik in the later afternoon where we can let an unforgettable day end. You will have experienced an adventure that will not be forgotten quickly, both in summer and winter.
