ROUTE
HIGHLIGHTS
The waters between settlements feature extensive ice conditions where massive glaciers meet the sea. Navigation requires careful timing with weather and ice movements.
An abandoned settlement site surrounded by dramatic peaks and glaciers. The area offers protected waters and chances to explore former Inuit dwelling places.
A narrow, 100km long channel cutting through the southern tip of Greenland. Steep granite walls rise directly from the water, while glaciers cascade down from the ice cap.
A complex system of fjords and channels around Tasiilaq. The area features active glaciers and traditional hunting grounds while hosting East Greenland's largest settlement.
Southern Ice Fields
Skjoldungen Fjord
Prince Christian Sound
Angmagssalik Region
Ice Navigation:
Complex ice conditions require constant attention and adaptation. From glacier fronts to drift ice and icebergs, we work with ice charts and weather forecasts to plan each day's progress while maintaining safe distances from ice hazards.
Seasonal Transition:
Early autumn brings dramatic changes to East Greenland. Darkening nights return, northern lights become visible, and weather patterns shift rapidly. These conditions add both challenge and beauty to the journey.
Historic Connections:
The route passes sites connected to both Inuit history and Norse settlements. From abandoned villages to modern communities, we witness how human habitation adapts to this challenging environment.
Climate Observation:
Travelling south along Greenland's coast provides direct observation of how climate affects different regions. From heavily glaciated northern waters to the relatively ice-free south, we witness varying impacts of Arctic warming.
