Spend
a few days exploring the massive fjord system of Northeast Greenland
National Park, which includes portions of Scorsbysund. Visit the tiny
settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit for a look at how these most northerly
people live.
Sail
through and land in some of the most spectacular fjord country in the
world up along the coast of Greenland, while exploring rarely visited
glaciers, bays and inlets.
This
is the largest national park in the world, nearly impossible to reach
except on expedition ships. Spectacular geology combined with glacial
features create steep mountains raising directly from the sea. Look out
for picturesque scenery, wildlife and other interesting landing sites
in this unspoiled wilderness.
Depending
on ice, spend these days exploring the massive fjord system of
Northeast Greenland National Park, which includes portions of
Scoresbysund. These intricate fjord systems are everything from wide
and unimaginable to narrow and steeply spectacular with some of the
best mountain scenery in the world. Walking over lush stands of
colourful autumn tundra may lead to opportunities to see musk oxen
grazing nearby.

Ittoqqortoormiit
Community Visit :
Ittoqqortoormiit
Visit
Ittoqqortoormiit for an up close look into life in the most remote town
in Greenland. This small settlement is home to only 450 individuals and
one grocery store. The people of Ittiqqortoormiit rely heavily on
hunting and fishing and have honed these skillsets for many
generations. They enjoy spending warmer weather on dog sleds,
snowmobile trips, or camping excursions. With the closest inhabited
settlement hundreds of miles away across some of the most unforgivable
terrain in the world, the warmth and sense of community fostered by the
people of Ittiqqortoormiit act as a beacon in the Arctic.
Meals
included: Breakfast
| Lunch | Dinner
Days
9–10 : Greenland Sea
Keep
an eye out for majestic whales, which are known to feed here in the
summer months. Spot orca, humpback and minke whales, as well as
dolphins. Enjoy lectures by expedition staff.
Frigid
waters drain from the Arctic Ocean in a southwest current along the
coast of Northeast Greenland. Often, drifting pack ice is pushed along
the coast. We will attempt to approach and follow the pack ice edge to
explore the polar seascape. Keep a lookout for sea mammals like seals
and whales and also sea birds such as kittiwakes and fulmars.

Days
11–14 : Greenland Sea/Svalbard
Taking
advantage of local ice and weather conditions, explore the Northwest
Spitsbergen National Park, one of those rare places on Earth blessed
with both awe-inspiring landscape and compelling history.
Over
four full days, explore a small portion of the western coast of
Svalbard. Entering the fall the days are getting shorter so try to take
advantage of all of the sunlight possible to search for wildlife.
Spend
these days in search of the elusive polar bears as they hunt seals.
Look out for Svalbard's unique subspecies of reindeer. Although much
smaller than their southern relatives, they still carry impressive
antlers. Keep a sharp lookout for Arctic foxes.
By
not having a set itinerary, we take on an expedition spirit and are
free to take advantage of the best that Svalbard has to offer.
