Looking for an exotic spot for your summer vacation? How about Baffin Island, Canada. Exotic doesn’t have to be tropical, does it?

Baffin Island is a paradise for wildlife viewing. You can see polar bears, Arctic foxes and wolves, many species of geese and ducks, snowy owls, seals, walruses, narwhals, even beluga whales.
