Announcing the 2005 Arctic season dates and prices on board the amazing icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov. Sail into spectacular fjords, surrounded by towering mountains and calving glaciers; marvel as the Khlebnikov breaks through ice up to several metres thick; land by expertly-piloted helicopter in the most inaccessible areas imaginable; discover important historic sites; visit isolated communities rarely visited before; and enjoy a wealth of unique and fascinating wildlife. Only a powerful icebreaker such as this can access such remote corners of the Arctic.

RUSSIA FAR EAST AND WRANGEL ISLAND
07 - 20 July 2005
This extraordinary expedition takes us into the heart of a very remote and little-explored part of the world - right on the edge of the Arctic pack ice. Sail through the famous Bering Strait, the narrow waterway separating Russia from the United States; look for great whales; hope to see polar bears, Arctic fox and a variety of other Arctic wildlife; explore ancient cultural sites and some of the most northerly communities anywhere. We even go to Wrangel Island - rarely visited by outsiders but well known throughout the world for its polar bears. Expedition prices start from US$8,050 per person with the program (including charter flights) starting and ending in Anchorage, Alaska.

NORTHWEST PASSAGE - THE AMUNDSEN ROUTE
18 July - 5 August 2005
The quest for a Northwest Passage that would connect the great Atlantic and Pacific Oceans began in the 16th century. This remarkable voyage of exploration will bring alive the endeavours of those who charted the Arctic: Franklin, McClintock, Amundsen and many more who faced the challenging climate and ice pack on their quests of discovery. The Kapitan Khlebnikov navigates ice-choked channels, narrow straits and little-explored waterways on this exciting cruise of exploration. Expedition prices start from US$10,250 per person with the program (including charter flights) starting in Anchorage, Alaska and concluding in Ottawa, Canada.

TANQUARY FJORD, ELLESMERE ISLAND & GREENLAND
16 - 31 August 2005
This voyage enters the stunning glaciers and valleys of Tanquary Fjord, along the coasts of Ellesmere Island and some of the most remote communities in the world. Venture to within some 500 miles of the geographic North Pole and look forward to first-hand sightings of polar bears, musk ox herds, Arctic hares, seals and the elusive walrus that inhabit this icy paradise. Expedition prices start from US$9,150 per person with the program (including charter flights) starting and ending in Ottawa, Canada.

HIGH ARCTIC - CANADA & GREENLAND
16 - 31 August 2005
Following in the wake of 19th-century explorers, journey through dense pack ice in a spectacular region of towering mountains, glaciers and fjords. Along the way, visit some of the world’s most northerly and isolated communities, explore 4,000-year-old archaeological sites, watch the Greenland ice-cap tumbling down to the shore, and keep a lookout for a wealth of Arctic wildlife. From Resolute and Devon Island to Qaanaaq and Ellesmere we travel through an icy paradise rarely visited by anyone but the Inuit and hardened explorers. Expedition prices start from US$7,195 per person with the program (including charter flights) starting and ending in Ottawa, Canada.
