The ultimate Greenland experience – a unique, epic adventure into Northeast Greenland National Park, the world’s largest national park, and Scoresbysund, the longest fjord system on Earth.
This mighty 12 expedition gives you the best of both worlds, taking in two of the world’s most remote destinations in one epic adventure. Explore the mythical Scoresbysund fjord system before pushing on into Greenland’s wild heart – Northeast Greenland National Park – a vast protected area only a lucky few have the privilege to experience first-hand.
Natural pantheons of sublime scenery, both lands are rich with geological wonder and Arctic wildlife, including polar bears, reindeer, musk oxen, and narwhals.
Did you know? Northeast Greenland National Park is so vast it covers more than a quarter of Greenland, the largest island on Earth. Unbelievably, it is larger than 166 of the planet’s 195 countries!
This adventure is our longest expedition ever.
You’ll need every second of it to explore all Scoresbysund and Northeast Greenland National Park have to offer.
Nature unlimited.
Marvel at the natural world on a completely new scale during this fortnight of exploration in Greenland, taking in two of the most significant environments on the planet: Scoresbysund and Northeast Greenland National Park.
First, we explore Scoresbysund, a labyrinthine network of deep-cut fjords carved into the east coast of Greenland, known for its still waters littered with idiosyncratically sculpted icebergs.
Next, we set a course for Northeast Greenland National Park – the road even less travelled, a badge of honour for true wilderness pioneers. Even fewer adventurers have been lucky enough to experience this perspective-defying crucible of glacier-crowned valleys and art-gallery icebergs, reflected in the mirrorlike waters of its fjords.
No explorer forgets the first time they sailed into Kong Oscar Fjord, the gateway to the national park, stretching out for 16 miles at its widest point, strewn with icebergs and floes of infinite variety. Glacier tongues push dramatically down to the shoreline of Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, presided over by the imposing Teufelsschloss (The Devil’s Castle), a fiendishly red peak. This is wilderness at its most atmospheric.
At all moments, keep a lookout for Greenland’s iconic wildlife – polar bears, musk oxen, narwhals, Arctic foxes, and more – gracing the shores and waters. Wildlife encounters are more common within the protected lands of the national park.
Our longest expedition ever, this is the choice for wilderness pioneers and adventurers.
