Antarctica is, without a doubt, one of the world’s most incredible places to visit. It’s absolutely beautiful and one place that feels so untouched and utterly beautiful to see. That being said, the whole Antarctic continent is colossal and, largely inhospitable (especially in the winter months). This makes it a very challenging environment to visit … Continue Reading

After an amazing day exploring the Ilulissat Icefjord yesterday and a good night’s sleep, we arrived in Itilleq. Itilleq is a very small community within the Qeqqata region of Greenland.

After such an incredible day exploring Disko Island and Eqip Sermia, we woke up to views of the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland. It’s not too far (in terms of nautical miles), maybe around 150 miles from Eqip Sermia. This meant we had much more time to explore Ilulissat after anchoring up. Now, the Ilulissat … Continue Reading
After visiting Nuuk and sailing north up the coast of eastern Greenland, we finally reached Qeqertarsuaq in Disko Bay. It’s one of the iconic areas to visit in Greenland, and for good reason.

After our trip to Qassiarsuk, we made our way to the Greenlandic city of Nuuk, which is, in many ways, the cultural hub of Greenland. It’s by far the largest city (around eighteen thousand residents), which feels super big when you’re here. It’s well worth visiting Nuuk in Greenland for at least a long afternoon. … Continue Reading

After our sailing through Prince Christian Sound, we woke bright and early to the most insatiable views of Greenland, just north of Nanortalik.

I was so excited, especially as there was … Continue Reading
For the longest time, I’ve wanted to travel to Greenland. It’s been up there, and I’ve visited other far-flung destinations like Antarctica and Nepal. Finally, after many years of planning, we made this a reality; we booked a tour that would have us visiting Greenland on an expedition. Okay, rewind. We had this trip planned … Continue Reading
