Greenland to Newfoundland: Mountains, Wildlife and Viking History, Operated by Quark

Join this unique adventure to explore the wonders of both Arctic and boreal environments. The boreal biomes (also called taiga) are cold, dense forests dominated by coniferous trees, boreal woodlands and wildlife such as caribou, black bears and Arctic foxes. It’s a sharp contrast to the Arctic biomes, treeless regions marked by extreme winters, low vegetation consisting mostly of mosses and lichens, and polar bears, seals and migratory birds.You’ll also immerse in a cross-section of cultural traditions: Greenlandic culture in places like Sisimiut Inuit and Nunatsiavut culture in Nunavut and Labrador Viking history at l’Anse Aux Meadows in Newfoundland then the welcoming East Coast hospitality of St John’s, famously steeped in Celtic music and history thanks to its vast population of Irish descendants.
