GREENLAND
Day to day program
DAY 1 ARRIVAL IN THE ARCTIC We meet at the domestic city airport in Reykjavik, RKV at 9 am. From here we fly to Akureyri on the northern coast of Iceland. Here, our ship M/S Freya is waiting for us, and in the af- ternoon we set sail for Scoresby Sound and Greenland. The trip over takes around 24 hours. On the way we hope to see some whales, like humpbacks and fin whales, and as we get closer to Greenland, our first ice bergs. DAY 2 - 9 EXPLORING THE ARCTIC WILDERNESS Travelling through the deep fjords of Greenland, our exact route will be decided by ice and weather conditions. Our goal is to explore and experience as much as possible of what Scoresby Sound and these remote parts of Greenland have to offer and encounter the impres- sive wildlife, of course hopefully also the King of the Arctic: the polar bear. When conditions allow, we get into our zodiacs to cruise around to experience the massive ice bergs and perhaps go on land. We will also most likely visit the only settlement in this region, Ittoqqortoormiit. DAY 10 SAILING SOUTH We set sail south and return to Akureyri and Iceland. DAY 11 BYE BYE ARCTIC After a last breakfast together on the ship it is time to leave. We fly from Akureyri to Reykjavik together and there it’s time to say goodbye. Please note: Our exact route and travel plans are depending on weather and ice conditions and where we expect the best opportunities at the time of our expedition. We will do everything possible to make the most out of our Arctic adventure. Flexibility is the key to a successful expedition! During our expeditions we typically encounter polar bears as well as other wildlife. And of course always the mag- ical scenery of the Arctic. There are never any guarantees for anything up here though. But we do know one thing: it will be amazing. It always is, and every expedition is unique and unlike the others.
Nature is the boss. And that is what makes this a true adventure.
