What To Expect
Experience this drive north past the Arctic Circle. Your guide will provide snowshoes and show you the skills to step on heavy snow. From there you'll be travelling on foot to the destination: frozen artic lake. The guide will teach you how drill a hole into the ice (tools and local techniques provided).
