Life is delightfully different on the Arctic's southern edge. Newfoundland and Labrador is the landscape where springtime polar bears give way to autumn tropical sea turtles swimming north to feed on Arctic jellyfish. In summer the waters teem with whales and seabirds. North America's largest puffin colony meets the planet's largest humpback gathering a couple of miles from the new world's first city. To the north there are places where the land appears to move, but it's really the backs of the world's largest caribou herd. Along the coast there are places where whirling seabirds are so plentiful they obscure the sun. This ocean adventures feature the world's largest gathering of humpbacks sharing the waters with the second largest animals to ever live - the fin whales. Minke whales are so common Wildland calls part of their summer traveling route the "Minke Way". You learn about whale research around the world including Wildland's own northern orca studies.
