GREENLAND
SCORESBY SOUND IN GREENLAND is one of the last untouched frontiers of our planet. It stands remote and pristine, cradled in solitude as an untamed wilderness, waiting for us to explore. Along the coast, rugged mountains and dramatic landscapes emerge, reaching out from beneath the grasp of Greenlands gigantic ice cap. For over eight months every year the fjords here are packed with ice. In summer, as the midnight sun warms the region, massive icebergs are born, breaking free and drifting into the deep, serene waters of Scoresby Sound. Here, these giants glide through the fjords—silent witnesses to the fragile balance of a world in flux. When we visit in August-September, the often mirror-like waters are surrounded by land covered in spectacular autumn colors. Join us on an exclusive expedition with a small group on the best ship for an expedition cruise like this. We travel through the fjord system and use our small zodiac boats as often as possible to get even closer to the nature around, and to go on land. We will hopefully encounter musk oxen, arctic foxes, seals and with a bit of luck also polar bears and whales. If the ice conditions allow it, we may also travel a bit north of Scoresby Sound, along the eastern coast of Greenland towards the North Pole pack ice.
This is a unique opportunity to visit one of the most difficult to reach and stunning areas on our planet.
