 One tourism activity unique to the Arctic North is iceberg watching . During the summer season of April to July , it is possible to watch icebergs moving down rivers while the ice around them melts . In addition , watching the floe edge is also a popular activity due to wildlife movement during this time . Whales can often be seen swimming metres from the ice , polar bears can be observed swimming briefly in the icy water and amphibious animals often bring themselves up on to dry land or on to the ice to sunbathe .
