Cruise to Greenland aboard icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov

This video, which describes a trip taken in August 2016 to Greenland, differs from my usual videos in that it was taken on a Russian icebreaker instead of in Venture. But even an icebreaker has much in common with smaller vessels which take to the high seas and there are features on Flemings which owe their origins to features spotted on larger ships.

East Greenland: an Arctic adventure beyond all expectations

The Arctic is full of otherworldly destinations, places so remote and arresting to the senses that they seem designed to astound both newcomers and returning travelers alike.

But even among such surreal locations, there are a few that rise above the rest. In terms of scenery, wildlife, and all the exhilarating activities they offer, some places are simply better suited to blowing the mind of everyone who encounters them.

East Greenland is such a place.

In this beautifully shot video, you’ll see some of the near-limitless highlights you can enjoy in this expectation-defying island. Hear what our passengers, guides, and the filmmaker himself have to say about areas like Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system on the planet. Enjoy the sights and sounds of extraordinary Arctic wildlife in its natural habitat.

And while you’re at it, imagine yourself experiencing all of this firsthand.

That’s what we have been delivering to guests from all over the world for more than a quarter century. Though our cruises offer exemplary food and comfort, as you’ll see, our trips are not leisure cruises. They are expedition voyages in every sense of the phrase.

That means we get you off the ship and into the action as often as local conditions allow, immersing you in the polar environment by boot, boat, and paddle. Whether it’s kayaking among dazzling icebergs or hiking Greenland’s gorgeously mountainous shoreline, you’ll feel like you have joined one of the historic polar expeditions of yesteryear – but in far greater comfort!

Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Greenland Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips.

Hunting:
The people of Greenland hunt seals, whales, and dolphins. Other than fish, these marine mammals are an important food source. Every part of the animal is used. Still, among some, this type of hunting will spark outrage. However, understand that very little grows in Greenland, as the summer lasts only around 2 months. Most fruits and vegetables, as well as all other types of food, need to be imported, causing high transport costs and emissions and resulting in astronomical prices. No citizen of Europe or North America has any right to judge the lifestyle of these people who rely on locally available, sustainable food sources.

Do we prefer whales swimming wild and free in the ocean? 100%. However, in our daily lives, most of us have the luxury of buying everything we could think of in a nearby supermarket. Greenlanders do not have that option.

Greenlanders know where their food comes from. Most of us in the West do not. It is easy to judge people and their lifestyles even if we know little about them. And if after all of that, you still believe Greenlanders should stop hunting seals, you are placing ideology above reason.

Full Disclosure:
This trip was supported by Visit Greenland. The tourism board paid for our flights from Iceland to Kulusuk as well as our helicopter flight from Kulusuk to Tasiilaq. Moreover, they supported us by funding some of the activities. Additionally, we didn’t have to pay for the trips with Tasiilaq Tours and Nunatak Adventures. All accommodations and other activities were self-funded.

Cruising in Greenland; Sailing Prince Christian Sound @59NorthSailing onboard SY Falken

THE FALKEN SAGAS: An Epic Adventure with 59º North Sailing Along The Viking Route: Newfoundland to Greenland to Iceland.

Welcome to The Falken Sagas series. I left Triteia in her southern hemisphere’s winter berth in Whangarei, New Zealand and flew back to North America to meet up with Andy Schell and 59º North Sailing. Andy had invited me to join him on a high latitude adventure onboard their Farr 65, Falken, to sail the Viking Route from Newfoundland to Greenland, transit Prince Christian Sound and sail on to the West Fjords of Iceland across the North Atlantic. Along for this adventure was Andy’s First Mate Vilma and the crew of the Falken; Jim, Matt, Richa, Johnathan, Charlotte, Gavin, Alejandro & Nick.

I have made several long format films and video episodes documenting our journey and adventures. Starting with preparations in Newfoundland then our passage to Greenland, our time cruising in Southern Greenland and our passage to Iceland. All of the drone footage you see in the films was shot by Andy Schell, otherwise all the footage was filmed by myself on a gopro.


About 59º North:

ANDY SCHELL & MIA KARLSSON started 59º North to pursue their own passion for offshore sailing and to share it with other like-minded people out there who yearn to see what's over the horizon & learn about themselves in the process. We set an ambitious schedule, sailing 10,000 MILES PER YEAR making landfall in ports from the Caribbean to the Arctic, Bermuda, Europe, Cuba, Canada & more, with the world's oceans as our stomping ground. Since 2015 our team has grown to include some of our best friends and like-minded sailors – AUGUST SANDBERG, EMMA GARSCHAGEN, RYAN FINSTAD, LEE CUMBERLAND & RYAN ELLISON – all working together to pursue our passions.

In 2020 we started THE QUARTERDECK, a unique-to-sailing online membership platform where we dive deep on the art of seamanship. Members have direct access to us, we have a growing resource library of onboard checklists, SOPs, logbooks and more, and we’ve moved all of our LIVE sessions onto the platform for members only.

Since 2013 we’ve published weekly podcasts on sailing, and now have three distinct shows — ON THE WIND, the main interview show hosted by Andy Schell, August Sandberg , Nikki Henderson & Emma Garschagen; THE QUARTERDECK PODCAST, a more technical, companion show to our online platform; and SAILING STORIES, a unique, serialized podcast showcasing ‘tales from the high seas, told week by week.’ All of our podcasts are free, and always will be — available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you've dreamed of seeing STARS DOWN TO THE HORIZON, if you yearn to LOSE SIGHT OF LAND for days on end, if you want to UNPLUG from the world ashore and TRAVEL TO NEW LANDS at a human pace, then join us for the OFFSHORE SAILING ADVENTURE of a lifetime. We'll see you on the high seas. HOLD FAST!

Sailing the coast of Greenland on the Sarfaq Ittuk ferry: Ilulissat to Nuuk (Full Trip Report) ????????

What's it like to sail on Greenland's coastal ferry? In this video, I take you down the west coast of Greenland on the humble Sarfaq Ittuk, the twice weekly mail ship that connects Ilulissat in the north with Qaqortoq in the far south of the country.

Beginning in Ilulissat, I board the Danish territory's signature red ferry for an exciting two night trip down the rugged coastline and icy waters of the world's largest island to the capital city of Nuuk. I paid just $275 USD for the two night voyage in a 4-berth compartment (dorm bed), with access to a movie room, several sightseeing lounges, showers, and an on-board restaurant with meals starting at around $5 USD. Along the way, I enjoyed amazing views of Greenland's remote Arctic coastline as we made our way south towards the capital.

Halfway down our route, I had the opportunity to explore Greenland's second largest city of Sisimiut during a 90 minute station stop, before heading further south to the tender port of Kangaamiut, one of the most scenic villages on the west coast. The next morning, I arrived in the bustling capital of Nuuk (one of the fastest growing municipalities on Earth) to begin my exploration of the nation's capital (check out next week's video for a full tour of Nuuk).

A cruise ship with 206 people onboard has run aground in Greenland

In a remarkable turn of events, a Bahamas-flagged Norwegian cruise ship, carrying 206 passengers and crew, has found itself grounded in the pristine wilderness of northwestern Greenland. Authorities reported this incident on a Tuesday, reassuring everyone that no lives are at risk, and no harm has befallen the ship.

NATURAL WONDERS OF GREENLAND AND ICELAND CRUISE, NordicSaga

EXPLORE THE LAND OF FIRE AND ICE ABOARD OCEAN DIAMOND

Discover the immense variety of the world’s biggest island on this grand tour of Greenland: the beautiful and fertile, deep south with its fascinating Viking history; Nuuk, a modern capital in a traditional Inuit society; Ilulissat, the town of icebergs and its UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ilulissat Ice Fjord. All are part of this unforgettable journey aboard the Ocean Diamond.

Day 1: Reykjavik
Individual arrival or use our comfortable Air&Ground Package. Use the day in Reykjavik to explore the highlights of the world’s northernmost national capital city on your own, or book one of our exciting pre-cruise programs and discover Reykjavik and its surroundings by land or air. The Ocean Diamond docks in the old harbor located in the heart of town which is a 5-minute walk to the inner city. The ship will depart Reykjavik harbor at 6 p.m.

Day 2: Stykkisholmur
Stykkisholmur is the starting point for our explorations of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, which juts out from Iceland’s west coast. As a long arm with a clenched fist at its tip, the peninsula is in many ways a microcosm of the whole island. Boarding our Zodiacs, passengers will explore Breidafjördur Bay, known for its colorful bird life, unique basalt rock formations and stunning scenery.

Day 3: Day at Sea/Denmark Strait
Today we sail across the Denmark Strait towards Greenland, following a maritime route used by Norse settlers more than 900 years ago. While we’re en route, you can attend fascinating presentations by our Expedition team members to prepare you for our visit to Greenland. Or just relax and watch whales, dolphins, and seabirds from the deck or your cabin.

Day 4: Day at Sea/Prins Christian Sound
If conditions allow, we will attempt to enter the 70-mile-long Prins Christian Sound which connects the Labrador and Irminger Seas. In this narrow, often ice-choked channel, we will come so close to icebergs that you can almost reach out and touch them. Greenland’s massive inland ice cap pushes the glaciers towards the sea, where large chunks break off and become icebergs.

Day 5: Narsarsuaq
Very close to the town of Narsarsuaq lies the small settlement of Qassiarsuk, founded by the legendary Viking rebel and leader Erik the Red. He named this area “green land” because the landscape around Qassiarsuk is characterized by inviting fjords and green, fertile valleys. During this stop, you have the opportunity to learn more about the lives of the early Norse settlers and visit the reconstructions of a Viking longhouse and small turf church.

Day 6: Day at Sea
Learn more about the country and its peoples at the interesting presentations given by our knowledgeable and experienced expedition team.

Day 7: Nuuk
Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, combines Arctic traditions and European urbanity. Founded in 1728 by the Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede, this is the oldest town in Greenland. With around 16,000 inhabitants, Nuuk is a bustling metropolis with a modern lifestyle compared with the rest of Greenland. Visit the sights of the city or take the time to make a “Kaffemik” and meet the locals over a cup of coffee in their homes.

Day 8: Day at Sea
The Greenland Sea is home to numerous seals, walruses, and whales. Keep your eyes open as we sail along the island’s scenic west coast.

Day 9: Ilulissat
In the morning the Diamond Ocean arrives at Ilulissat. The name means “iceberg” in Greenlandic, and the town lives up to its name – located at the mouth of the Ilulissat Ice Fjord, which is filled with enormous icebergs. The fjord has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. Enjoy the thunderous spectacle when icebergs break off from Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and plunge into the fjord. Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the most productive glaciers in the northern hemisphere and calves over 35 cubic kilometers of ice every year.

Day 10: Uummannaq/Eqip Glacier
In the morning we visit Eqip Glacier and with a little luck will witness icebergs calving into the fjord. The afternoon is spent in Uummannaq, one of the most beautiful towns in Greenland. Located on a small island about 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, this tiny, picturesque village is at the foot of a heart-shaped mountain.

Day 11: Day at Sea
Along the coast, we travel south toward Kangerlussuaq. Enjoy the Arctic summer and admire the contrast between majestic icebergs and the riot of colors ashore.

Day 12: Kangerlussuaq
In the early morning, we arrive at the 120-mile-long Kangerlussuaq Fjord and city of the same name. It’s time to bid farewell to the Ocean Diamond. Individual departure or book our comfortable Air&Ground Package.

ICELAND GREENLAND CRUISE 2022

Our cruise aboard the Island Princess in August, 2022.

Cruise to Qaanaaq, The Top of the World in NW Greenland


Life is tough is this small subsistence community (pop: 656) so far north. Only the ability to adapt allows survival. When the sea opens in August, hunters and fisherman set out to replenish whatever they can before the harbor again ices over.

There is an interesting Inuit food story about Little Auks (a bird). They catch with nets, boil, and then store for winter by placing up to 100 birds inside a sealskin with blubber, close it up and store. The auks ferment and rot with the blubber to give this delicacy taste. Eeww...

Reminds me of Fermented Shark in Iceland.
