East Greenland Adventure 14 Days
Aboard: Greg MortimerJoin us on this special East Greenland voyage. Home to the world’s largest fjord system, a zodiac cruise through Greenland’s sounds will see you taking in spectacular icebergs carved from the face of a giant ice cap. Below the icy sea the same icebergs compete with catfish and lumpsuckers for the attention of Scuba divers who take the plunge into a world seen by few. Above them, rock climbers can scale some of the world’s least explored mountain ranges. Waiting to greet you are friendly Inuit locals, determinedly continuing their traditional hunting and fishing lifestyles.
