We arrived at Ryder Inlet in Maxwell Bay, surrounded by stunning Arctic wilderness. Our first polar bear was peacefully sleeping on a bed of flowers and moss, perfectly at ease on the tundra. Nearby, seals were seen swimming gracefully in the clear waters. During our Zodiac cruise, wildlife remained at a respectful distance, though one curious seal occasionally surfaced close by. The breathtaking scenery and quiet moments made for a memorable day in the High Arctic.
