Sail East Greenland

10 Days

These East Greenland voyages in August start and end in Kulusuk. After sailing parallel to the coast we reach Umivik, where Nansen began his crossing of the Greenland ice-cap in 1888, following a short distance in his footsteps. From there we work our way into several fjords back to the north, sailing into Køge Bugt, a landscape which is similar to that of Antarctica. We will also sail into Unartoq, to find warm springs and land at the vegetated area of HusryggenIsortoq is an East Greenland outpost, where its population of less than 100 still live traditionally on an island at the foot of the Greenlandic ice-cap.  We will see how far we can get into the famous Sermilik Fjord and Johan Petersen Fjord with its steep glaciers. We end with a day in Tasiilaq, at the centre of East Greenland.
