August is a beautiful time to be in the Arctic. Most of the sea ice has melted, leaving you to cruise through clear open water. A variety of whales, seals, walruses and other sea animals are very active.
Temperatures are the warmest, meaning this is the busiest season for Arctic cruising. There are plenty of long (think almost 24-hours) summer days with gorgeous scenery and wildlife viewing.
