Day-by-Day Summary
Day 1 : Depart from Reykjavik / Embark in Kulusuk Days 2-6 : Fjords on the East Greenland Coast Day 7 : Rømer Fjord and Turner Sound Day 8 : Scoresby Sund Day 9 : Ittoqqortoormiit Day 10 : Jameson Land Day 11 : Disembark in Nerlerit Inaat / Return to Reykjavik
Sailing northward along the East Greenland coast, enter several fjords, competing in great beauty, Ikerssuaq, Kangerlussuaq, Miki’s, Nansen and d’Auney’s, most of these with glacier fronts at the head. Any of these fjords offer a chance to see a polar bear.
Rømer Fjord and Turner Sound give good opportunities to sail far inland, as they have no glacier front at the head and they are not clogged with glacier ice, providing hiking opportunities. From a ridge on the Manby Peninsula have a stunning view across the landscape.
Stewart ø is an important hunting station for the people from Scoresby Sund. It is a good area for narwals. There are also beautiful remains of Thule houses.
Ittoqqortoormiit (about 400 inhabitants), at the northern entrance of the Scoresby Sund, is the only Greenlandic settlement of the area. Their nearest neighbors in West Greenland live about 800 km away.
A little way west of Kap Stewart land on the coast of Jameson Land, an undulating tundra landscape with good possibilities to see musk oxen.
