Travel Partner: Natural World Safaris

Journey into a very remote and relatively unexplored part of the Arctic, to discover the secrets of the world’s largest fjord system as it extends for over 200 miles into the frozen interior of Greenland.

Join us in the Arctic for an adventurous expedition to the seldom visited East coast of Greenland. We’ll navigate the ancient waterways of Scoresby Sund,surrounded by steep rising basalt mountains. The Greenland Ice Sheet meets the innermost tips of the fjords, calving off colossal icebergs creating a landscape that makes you feel impossibly small as you marvel at the vastness of everything around you.

We’ll have the opportunity to hike over the flowering Arctic tundra as the rugged rock walls give way to landing areas; it is here we’ll have the best opportunities to encounter wildlife such as musk ox, arctic hare and maybe even an arctic fox or polar bear.

A small township at the entrance to Scoresby, called Ittoqqortoormiit, provides the opportunity to meet with a remote Inuit community. The only settlement in the region, and blocked off by the sea for nine months of the year, the residents have existed for generations solely through hunting and fishing in the surrounding wilderness. Depending on ice conditions we’ll venture to the rarely-visited King Oscar Fjord, a maze of jagged mountains and turquoise ice.

It promises to be a great adventure! Email sales@naturalworldsafaris.com for more information and to secure your place on this expedition.
