AURORA EXPEDITIONS plans to bring passengers and crew members, aboard its small expedition cruise vessel M/V GREG MORTIMER, to Nunavut in the late summer/early fall of both 2022 and 2023 as part of a set of commercial tourism voyages focusing on the ‘north-west’ passage between Greenland (Kangerlussuaq) and Cambridge Bay. The four proposed voyages (two each in 2022 and 2023) will transit through, and conduct off-ship excursions or activities within, Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) protected areas.2022NWP001G: Kangerlussuaq to Cambridge Bay from August 25, 2022 to September 08, 2022.NWP002G: Cambridge Bay to Kangerlussuaq from September 08, 2022 to September 22, 2022.2023.NWP003G: Kangerlussuaq to Cambridge Bay from August 24, 2023 to September 07, 2023.NWP004G: Cambridge Bay to Kangerlussuaq from September 07, 2023 to September 21, 2023.The M/V GREG MORTIMER will follow the proposed itinerary (as provided), although (like all travel in the polar regions) the final day-by-day itinerary and activities are dependent on a number of factors including weather, wind, sea state, visibility, ice conditions and the presence of wildlife. Passenger and crew member involvement at these remote ports of call is meant for the purpose of personal interest and the activity undertaken will be confined to sightseeing only. No flora, fauna, soil, artifacts, remains or other material will be collected for research purposes. No structures will be erected, and no equipment or other debris will be left ashore. The M/V GREG MORTIMER is a cruise vessel providing adventure tourism opportunities to its passengers and is not a research or education vessel.Before each landing, passengers and expedition team members are given a short briefing on the vessel by the Expedition Leader or Head Naturalist about the planned activities, specific sensitivities relating to flora and fauna, passenger movement and behavior ashore. These points are reinforced upon arrival at the landing site. Particular attention is paid to geologically fragile features, etiquette at wildlife areas, boundaries of any specific protected areas, and conduct at cultural sites.
