Wrangel Island: Across the Top of the World ABOARD THE SPIRIT OF ENDERBYDAYS 1-5 ANADYR, RUSSIA, TO
KOLYUCHIN ISLAND
Embark on the
Spirit
of Enderby
and sail toward the Bering Strait.
Explore the ancient aboriginal site known
as Whale Bone Alley, search for gray whales
by Zodiac, and look for nesting seabirds. At
Cape Dezhnev, visit Uelen village, one of
the largest centers for traditional Chukchi
and Inuit art in the world. Kolyuchin Island
is home to some of the most amazing bird
cliffs in the Arctic—puffins, guillemots,
gulls, and cormorants can be observed and
photographed from just yards away.
DAYS 6-10 WRANGEL AND HERALD
ISLANDS
Wrangel Island, a major polar
bear denning area with an introduced
population of musk oxen and reindeer, is
also the last landfall for migratory species
flying north. Each summer thousands of
birds migrate here to breed, including snow
geese, snowy owls, skuas, Arctic terns, and
Ross’s, Sabine’s, and ivory gulls. You’ll make
many landings to search for wildlife and see
the carpets of summer wildflowers, and the
ship will also attempt to visit nearby Herald
Island, with its massive bird cliffs.
DAYS 11-15 NORTH SIBERIAN COAST
TO ANADYR
Visit Chukchi villages
where the locals still make their living
hunting walrus, seals, and whales, and in the
enormous Kolyuchin Inlet, search the dunes
and tidal areas for birdlife including emperor
geese and spoon-billed sandpipers. Returning
through the Bering Strait, pass Diomede
Island, and make a landing on the Chukotka
Coast. Disembark at Anadyr and depart.

This expedition cruise along the wild north Siberian coast reveals a world of spouting
whales, enormous bird colonies, walrus haul-outs, and native villages. You’ll navigate
from Russia through the Bering Strait to Wrangel Island, a treasure trove of Arctic
biodiversity and well known for its polar bear population. You may catch many
glimpses of this magnificent animal as well as walrus, reindeer, snow geese, and
migratory bird species that nest here in the brief Arctic summer. The islands’ human
histories are fascinating as well, and your expert expedition team lends insight to the
stupendous landscapes and fantastic wildlife encounters you enjoy.
