Visiting the Arctic in July

5 Reasons to Visit the Arctic in July

1. Weather

Although the Arctic is still a cold and icy region, July is one of the milder months, with average temperatures ranging from 0 to 10 degrees Celsius (32 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit). This means you can explore the Arctic without facing the extreme cold temperatures of winter, making it a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

2. Wildlife

July is a great time to see a variety of Arctic wildlife, including polar bears, reindeer, Arctic foxes, and whales. The warmer weather and increased daylight hours make it easier to spot animals in their natural habitat. Many animals are also more active during this time, making it a prime opportunity for wildlife watching.

3. Activities

A myriad of activities are available to travelers who visit the Arctic in July! Choose from hiking, kayaking, bird watching, and more! Travelers may also now travel to the North Pole aboard select icebreaker ships!

4. Culture

5. Midnight Sun

Visiting the Arctic in July allows you to experience this unique natural phenomenon, where the sun is visible 24 hours a day. It’s an incredible experience to have extended daylight hours, which allows you to explore the Arctic landscape and wildlife for longer periods.
