概述
Aulavik and Banks Island
Polar Desert, Thomsen River and large herds of muskoxen characterize this expedition to Banks Island.
Aulavik National Park, Thomsen River and Banks Island provide the most telling landmarks on Aulavik and Banks Island. Together, they form a destination where island landscapes, riverscapes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 7 to 15 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Nature and landscape
Aulavik National Park
Aulavik National Park protects a very remote portion of Banks Island, made up of tundra, low valleys and extensive habitats for muskox. The absence of roads gives the stay a dimension of shipping, with access by plane and complete autonomy. The landscape, almost stripped, reveals its details in traces, razed plants and changes of light.
河流
Thomsen River
The Thomsen River crosses Aulavik in long, quiet meanderings, in an open tundra where the view takes a long distance. Its moderate current makes it one of the major canoe descent routes in the Canadian Arctic, for experienced and well-prepared travellers. On the banks, it is not uncommon to see muskoxen or migratory birds.
Nature and landscape
Banks Island
Banks Island offers an Arctic tundra, wind-torn coasts and valleys frequented by muskoxen. The island is discovered from Sachs Harbour or by expeditions to Aulavik, always with serious logistics. What marks here is open space: few built landmarks, many sky, and a nature that imposes its rhythm.
Place indismissible
Sachs Harbour
Sachs Harbour is the only community on Banks Island, which is located on the waterfront in a tundra and arctic seascape. Low houses, boats, hunting equipment and open views tell of a life that is seasonal in nature. For travellers on their way to Aulavik, this is often the last inhabited contact before shipping.
