Kane Bassin

The presence of many drifting icebergs calved from the glaciers of Greenland and sheets of ice floe can make sailing tricky - but spectacular - in this High Arctic region located between the north of Greenland and Ellesmere Island, in Nunavut. If you are lucky enough to be able to venture there with your ship, you will perhaps observe one of the many polar bears that roam this favourable environment. In the north, in the Nares Strait, Denmark and Canada are still fighting over the possession of the tiny and uninhabited Hans islet, which is moreover actively defended by a collective that invites everyone to declare themselves an “inhabitant” of Hans, to protect the island, from oil drilling projects.
