At the very top of the world, renowned for vast tundra, immense glaciers and deep fjords, sits the largest island in the world — Greenland. Reindeer, seals, whales, musk ox and walruses are among the many animals that make the icy waters and rugged shores of these remote lands their home. But amid the far reaches of Arctic Greenland humans have still managed to settle and make a life in the village of Ittoqqortoormiit. As you learn more about the traditions of East Greenland here, engage with the community and spark a conversation that will leave you feeling more deeply connected with the world around you. Take home local handicrafts as a reminder of your bond with newfound friends and a memento of extraordinary explorations. As Zodiac safaris bring you and fellow explorers up close to spectacular fjords on the search for wildlife, a sense of awe is sure to befall you as you realize what you have accomplished together.

Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
Arrives: Departs:
The name "Ittoqqortoormiit" means "Big-House Dwellers" in the Eastern Greenlandic dialect. Very few visitors make the trek here, as the winters are long, and the sea is frozen for nine months of the year. Ittoqqortoormiit is located at Scoresby Sound and with its side fjord is the largest fjord complex in the world, as well as the world’s longest fjord. Within its borders is the tallest mountain in the Arctic region, the two-mile-tall Gunnbjorn Mountain. During early spring, when the sea ice is still thick, yet the sun is high in the sky, many of the local people go out for a weekend on dog sledding trips.

Day 9
Isafjörður, Iceland
Arrives: Departs:
Amid the enchanting Westfjords of Iceland stands Ísafjörður, a fishing town thriving with local energy and culture. Summer months here are brisk, but it’s this cool climate combined with breathtaking and quaint scenery that makes the village feel like an undiscovered treasure. The massive depression among the flat-topped mountains called Naustahvilft - known colloquially as the troll seat - combines Iceland’s natural beauty with the town’s rich folklore. Make a stop at Dokkan Brugghús, the only brewery in the entire Westfjords, and sample the local beers, crafted with naturally filtered spring water from the nearby mountains. For those for whom the sea’s siren call beckons, you must visit the Westfjord History Museum, based on Ísafjörður’s maritime heritage and its rise in the fishing industry.
