Spitsbergen - Northeast Greenland – Iceland

Remote Greenland off the beaten path

Taking you from the polar bear kingdom of Svalbard to Greenland's magnificent Scoresby Sund, this Arctic adventure is packed with opportunities to explore by Zodiac, expedition ship, and on foot during epic long hikes. Chase Norse legends, discover untouched tundra, and embark on the trip of a lifetime from Longyearbyen to Akureyri, Iceland. Activities Long hikes are for groups of 24 passengers maximum, accompanied by two armed expedition staff and a Zodiac that will sail ahead to watch for polar bears along the shoreline. Passengers who join this activity should have the willingness and ability to walk at least 15 km (9 miles) in semi-rough terrain that includes shorelines, tundra, low hills, and river crossings. Walks will take around six hours from start to finish, rest times included. We will walk at a modest pace and not cross any alpine terrain. Passengers who do not take part in long walks will have a landing in the morning at the start point of the walk, then sail to the end point of the walk for their second landing in the afternoon.
