Expedition Northwest Greenland: The Ice-Covered World Of The Inuit

Kangerlussuaq Havn is the eastern Greenlandic gateway to the Scoresby Sund — the world's longest fjord system — where sheer basalt cliffs, colossal icebergs, and one of Earth's most isolated Inuit communities await expedition vessels from Ponant and Hapag-Lloyd. Visit July through September for muskox encounters, midnight-sun ice photography, and the Arctic in its most concentrated and demanding form.

Evighedsfjorden is Greenland's 'Fjord of Eternity' — a seventy-five-kilometer passage flanked by ice-capped peaks and tidewater glaciers that provides one of expedition cruising's most profound Arctic landscape encounters. Navigate July through August via Ponant or Seabourn for midnight-sun glacial photography, humpback whale encounters echoing off cliff faces, and a passage so vast it transforms the concept of eternity from abstraction to sensory reality.

Siorapaluk is Earth's northernmost permanent settlement, an Inughuit community of fewer than seventy people in northwestern Greenland living by traditional hunting of narwhals and polar bears. Must-dos include Zodiac landings at this extraordinary Arctic community, learning about Inughuit hunting culture, and experiencing twenty-four-hour polar daylight. Only accessible by expedition ship in July and August when fjord ice permits.
