For landscape lovers and aurora chasers – the ultimate expedition of Earth and sky.
Explore Scoresbysund in autumn, and witness the northern lights casting their spell across the sky. This otherworldly event is particularly common here at this time of year, illuminating the night sky above a mythical land where Arctic wildlife roam the shores and monolithic icebergs drift down fairytale fjords.
Otherworldly landscapes and the heavens dancing above you.
East Greenland in autumn is a feast for the senses – on land, at sea, and in the sky.
Explore the mythical Scoresbysund, the largest fjord system in the world, its labyrinthine pathways strewn with cathedral-size icebergs. Encounter the local wildlife, including musk ox, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, and maybe even (though they are rare here) polar bears and narwhals.
But keep your eyes on the skies and listen for the knock on your cabin door at night. The northern lights are the ultimate East Greenland sight at this time of year. Capturing them on camera is the goal of photographers great and small.
This voyage takes place during the latter half of September, at the optimum time for encountering the Scoresbysund northern lights. Whilst never guaranteed, there is a good chance to witness this magical phenomenon in one of the most scenic places on Earth, with zero light pollution and majestic mountains all around.
