Day 2-6: Umivik - Unartoq - Greenland Ice Cap

  • Ship

Sail parallel to the magnificent coast of East Greenland towards Umivik, where Nansen began his crossing of the Greenland ice-cap in 1888. Follow a very short distance in his steps towards and on the Greenland ice-cap. From there, work your way in inshore waters into some fjords back to the north sailing into Køge Bugt, a landscape which is similar to Antarctica.

Then sail into Unartoq, where you may find warm springs and land at Husryggen, a vegetated area. Isortoq is an East Greenland outpost, where the people still live a traditional life on an island at the foot of the Greenlandic ice-cap, which descends here to the sea. The crew will attempt to get to the famous Sermilik Fjord and Johan Petersen Fjord with their steep glaciers.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
