Arctic expedition company Arctic Kingdom has been awarded a five-year contract by the Nunatsiavut Government to operate the Torngat Mountains Base Camp and Research Station, marking a new chapter for tourism and research access in northern Labrador.
The agreement brings together Arctic Kingdom’s experience in remote expedition logistics and wildlife viewing with one of Canada’s most protected and culturally significant landscapes.
“We are honoured to support sustainable tourism and conservation efforts in the Torngats,” said Graham Dickson, President and Chief Expedition Officer of Arctic Kingdom.
"This is more than a travel destination — it’s a sacred place. We look forward to providing meaningful access for travellers, researchers, and groups while maintaining the integrity and spirit of the land. From spotting the large barren ground black bears that co-exist with polar bears, to navigating iceberg-filled waters and watching minke and humpback breach offshore, the Torngats offer a rare chance to experience the North in its most authentic form.”

The Torngat Mountains, located within Torngat Mountains National Park, holds deep cultural significance for Inuit communities.
“We are pleased to welcome Arctic Kingdom as the operator of the Torngat Mountains Base Camp and Research Station,” said David Dicker Jr., Nunatsiavut’s Acting Minister of Language, Culture and Tourism.
“Their experience in delivering respectful and enriching Arctic experiences aligns with our vision for the future of this special place. The Torngats are more than breathtaking landscapes. This is a sacred place for Inuit, deeply woven into our history, traditions, culture and identity. While visitors marvel at the dramatic mountains, glacier-carved fjords, and iconic wildlife, it is essential that the Inuit story is told with the respect and depth it deserves.”
