Day 4 - 8: The northeast coast of Greenland
Each morning, your day begins with a delicious breakfast. You will explore the remote north-east coast of Greenland particularly intensively during Zodiac cruises and shore excursions. Even from on board, you will be amazed at the breathtakingly beautiful landscapes that pass you by. You will not only be on the lookout for the most spectacular views, but also for wild animals such as whales, musk oxen, polar bears and many more. The experienced expedition team is always at your side. At the entrance to the Sound lies East Greenland's northernmost community, Ittoqqortoormiit, where you can spend time with the Inuit and learn about their way of life - an exciting cultural exchange that you can look forward to. Magnificent views also await you at Kong Oscar Fjord with possible landings at Ella Ø, known for its rugged cliffs and ice-covered waters, and at the flower-filled Botanikerbugt at Ymer Ø. If the sky is clear, you also have the chance to see the Northern Lights here. Keep your eyes open in the evening - you might be lucky and see this special natural spectacle in the late evening or at night.
