Introduction
Grandeur and spectacle are the watchwords for this itinerary. Covering many miles of extraordinary coastline, encounter wildlife such as narwhal, arctic fox, polar bear and musk oxen, all against a backdrop of some seriously impressive scenery. You may even witness the magical northern lights
This adventurous voyage focuses on the rugged and seldom visited northeast coast of Greenland and begins in Spitsbergen and ends in Iceland. Visit the largest fjord in the world, witness glaciers, gigantic icebergs, remnants of Inuit settlements and a surrounding landscape of mountains and tundra. It is only at the end of the summer, as the surrounding pack ice breaks up that access to the most remote and very beautiful parts of East Greenland becomes possible. Even in today’s age of receding last frontiers, this region sees few visitors. Though traces of former Inuit settlements are widespread, today just a handful of small hunting and fishing communities are found along the entire coast. In a place where man’s impact has been so minimal, nature lies virtually undisturbed.
