Jakobshavn, Greenland
Discover the magical beauty of West Greenland. The first chapter of our journey encompasses the majestic coast of West Greenland. Over the next three days, you'll experience some of the most iconic sites in all of Greenland. Our objectives include: Evighedsfjord. As we head north, we plan to offer an exploration day in the magical and pristine Evighedsfjord near Maniitsoq. Each day, we'll determine which adventures we can take part in. The "Fjord of Eternity" is fed by an ice cap that calves huge icebergs into its 2,300-foot-deep waters. It's surrounded by mist-cloaked mountains with beautiful white ridges, punctuated by crystal blue ice caves. Sisimiut: Sisimiut is Greenland's second city and is situated in a spectacular location just above the Arctic Circle. This area has history spanning more than 4,500 years, and old traditions are alive and well. Learn more about ancient Saqqaq artifacts in the local museum, or stretch your legs on a hike. If you're looking for a special souvenir, pick up a scarf, hat, or mittens made of qiviut, the inner wool of the musk ox that's said to be ten times warmer than sheep's wool. Ilulissat: Nestled at the edge of the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Ilulissat. Here you'll find an ever-changing gallery of passing icebergs set against a backdrop of colorful houses. In town you can visit a multitude of shops selling local crafts, and on the outskirts walking trails take you along the epic icefjord. ... Read More
