Jewels Of The Arctic
This voyage offers wonderful opportunities for tundra and glacier walking, fjord exploration plus dramatic landscape and Arctic wildlife viewing. Commencing in Spitsbergen we cruise southwest across the Greenland Sea, spotting seabirds and admiring the east Greenland icepack that stretches north across the Arctic Ocean to the North Pole. The ice mass is home to Polar Bears, Narwhal Whales and walrus, providing a constant source of interest for all on board. We’ll take as many opportunities as possible to use our zodiacs or sea kayaks to make landings on the Greenland coast. This strip of east coast is sparsely settled by small communities of Inuit hunters who eke out a living in one of the harshest environments on earth. Iceland, where we disembark, is one of the world’s youngest islands. Forged by fire and honed by ice, it is a geological treasure trove. Reykjavik, the capital, provides a more sophisticated conclusion to our voyage.
