Fjords, Icebergs, and Whales

the remote reaches of southeast Greenland by ship, in Zodiacs, and on

pack ice.

Inuit, who continue to work the sheep farms originally established by
the Norse settlers.
Day
9-10: South Greenland
Explore
Dramatic Landscapes
South
Greenland lives up to its namesake; here, the land is fertile and
agriculture thrives. Farms and vegetable husbandry contrast with the
barren ice that covers so much of the country. This is a region where
jagged mountains rise dramatically from green pastures, and sheep farms
border the stunning ice fjords. The fjords here are nothing short of
breathtaking, with their deep blue waters and towering cliffs creating
an awe-inspiring backdrop for every adventure.
As
we explore, whether by Zodiac or on foot, we’ll be surrounded
by this remarkable landscape, where Norse history intersects with
contemporary Greenlandic life. The fjords add an unparalleled sense of
beauty and serenity to the journey, making every moment unforgettable.
Day

Enjoy
Birdwatching and Zodiac Cruising

the Sermersooq region of Greenland by Zodiac or by foot, as landing
conditions permit.
Here
you’ll find a stunning myriad of mountain peaks, glaciers,
and deep fjords, with records of human habitation that stretch back
over 1,500 years.
Keep
a look out for nattoralik (white-tailed eagles), seabirds, and marine
mammals while you enjoy the lush vegetation of southwest Greenland.
Day
12-13: Nuuk
Visit
Museums, Shops, and Cafés
Stop
in at vibrant Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Visit the Greenland
National Museum, one of the city’s many outstanding features,
