We explore some of the most spectacular landscapes on the planet, with icebergs, glaciers, snow-capped mountains and abundant wildlife, including many species of seals, seabirds, whales and vast numbers of penguins.A voyage to the astounding fjords of the east coast of Greenland, where the Greenland people hunt, and where we may encounter Polar Bears, as well as a good chance of the Aurora Borealis in the arctic autumn! Greenland and its surrounding waters are home to more than eight species of whales, two million seals, Walruses, Polar Bears, Reindeer, Musk Oxen, Arctic Hares, Arctic Wolves and a spectacular variety of seabirds. It is the largest island in the world, 90% covered by glaciers, and inhabited by less then 100,000 people, with a fascinating history. We shall sail into the superb fjords of East Greenland, including, if ice conditions permit, Scoresby Sund, the longest fjord in the world, or Nansen Fjord, filled with icebergs and surrounded by high mountains like GunnbjØrn Fjeld, the highest mountain in Greenland. In these fjords we have a good chance of seeing Polar Bears as well as encountering Greenlanders on hunting expeditions. The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are intensive in these areas in September. Please note that the full itinerary is for guidance only.
