Reykjavik to Kangerlussuaq (Atlas Ocean Voyages)

11 Days

Overview

SCANDINAVIAN SUMMER

Hot springs are abundant in Greenland, but the outdoor spa on the uninhabited island of Uunartoq in Qaqortoq comes with views of mountain peaks in the distance, making it a favorite among locals and explorers alike. Lying off the beaten path amid wild fjords, the village of Paamiut truly embodies the essence of exploration with scenes of colorful houses where the locals dry seal meat and pelts on racks under their homes. The small, desert island of Akulleq contains a stunning moonscape scenery made of orange and ochre yellow from the minerals illuminated under the light of the polar summer sun. As a gateway to South Greenland’s Norse ruins of Qassiarsuk and having played an important role among the Allies of World War II, Narsarsuaq holds a rich history. At the end of the Arctic Circle Trail sits Sisimiut, just outside the UNESCO-listed Aasivissuit – Nipisat cultural area, home to Inuit hunting grounds.
