On our trip, we had days ranging from the mid-20s °F up to the 50s °F [-7 to 11 °C] ☀️ 🐻❄️ Wildlife Is 100% Wild Encounters are never guaranteed or staged! everything is natural and respectful! But with sharp eyes on deck, you can spot polar bears, walruses, seals, Arctic foxes, reindeer, whales, and thousands of seabirds. 🦅🐋 🧥 What You ACTUALLY Need to Pack Poseidon provides a complimentary high-performance expedition parka that keeps you warm and dry, plus waterproof Muck boots for every landing!
