STAGE 9.8

21.08—28.08

🇬🇱East Greenland

A circular route exploring the intricate fjord system around Kulusuk in East Greenland. We navigate through ice-filled waters between remote settlements, abandoned military bases, and active glaciers of the world's largest fjord system.

We are organising our journey in collaboration with YachtFIT, a russian speaking project focused on active and healthy yachting. The team arranges group and individual tours in various waters, hosts fitness regattas with full-service organisation, and collaborates with photo and video production teams under sail.

ROUTE
HIGHLIGHTS

An abandoned WWII American military base in Ikateq. The site combines historical artefacts with stunning Arctic landscapes, surrounded by lakes and tundra vegetation.

Named after the famous Greenlandic-Danish polar explorer, this massive glacier provides spectacular displays of calving ice and fills surrounding fjords with icebergs of all sizes.

A remote settlement at the end of a long fjord, offering dramatic views of surrounding mountains and ice-filled waters. The location provides a perfect base for approaching the Knud Rasmussen glacier.

Bluie East Two

Knud Rasmussen Glacier

Sermiligaaq

Home to East Greenland's largest settlement, where traditional Inuit culture meets modern Greenlandic life. The surrounding waters offer prime opportunities for iceberg photography and whale watching.

Ammassalik Region

One of Greenland's largest and most active outlet glaciers. Its rapid changes provide visual evidence of climate warming while creating an ever-changing landscape of ice.

Helheim Glacier

Ocean Passage:

The Denmark Strait crossing presents challenging navigation through waters known for their weather systems. We work with weather routing while maintaining watch systems during the multi-day passage.

Climate Transition:

Moving from sub-Arctic Iceland to the ice-filled waters of East Greenland provides direct experience of different climate zones. The rapid transition highlights the unique characteristics of Greenland's maritime environment.

Ice Navigation:

Working with ice charts becomes crucial as we approach Greenland. The waters around Kulusuk often contain various forms of ice, from massive icebergs to drift ice, requiring constant vigilance and careful route planning.

Cultural Exchange:

Our journey ends in one of Greenland's most traditional regions. The small communities along this coast maintain strong connections to hunting and fishing traditions while adapting to modern challenges.
