Iceberg safari

Ice Giants of the Arctic: Iceberg Safari in East Greenland. Embarking on an Iceberg Safari in East Greenland is an experience that promises to mesmerize you with a panorama of Nature’s magnificent ice sculptures. As you set sail from the harbour, you are greeted by an ethereal flotilla of icebergs, their majesty unyielding against the vastness of the open sea. These monolithic floating edifices, composed entirely of freshwater ice, come in an array of sizes, each with its own unique shape and character. Our guided boat tours provide you the chance to sail close to these frozen leviathans, navigating through an ice-dotted seascape, allowing you to appreciate the grandeur of each iceberg from close quarters. Each encounter is an intimate communion with these transient ice sculptures, presenting a captivating tale of its journey through time and space. The East Greenland stream, the world’s largest ice stream, acts as a conduit for these icebergs. It shepherds huge floating ice sheets from the Arctic Sea and the North Pole along Greenland’s east coast, finally releasing them into the southern waters. Here, you bear witness to a congregation of icebergs, their sizes, shapes, and hues creating an ever-changing tableau of beauty and intrigue. Summertime in East Greenland offers a particularly spectacular view of this phenomenon, with countless icebergs adorning the horizon. In addition, there’s always the potential for spotting other denizens of the Arctic waters such as whales and seals, adding an extra layer of thrill to your adventure.
