South Greenland Exploration: Fjords, Waterfalls and Fishing Villages

Skip to


Blanketed in ice and sculpted by glaciers, Greenland is a dazzling tableau of the Arctic’s wild glory. Trace the enduring ingenuity of the country’s people—from the storied ruins of Brattahlið, Erik the Red’s legendary estate, to the living cultural landscape of Kujataa, a UNESCO World Heritage site where Norse and Inuit traditions intertwine. Cruise through fjords hemmed by towering cliffs in Prins Christian Sund and Skjoldungen Island, then step ashore to hike or kayak alongside locals who know the region best. This is an expedition into the heart of untamed wilderness—where Norse legends linger, Inuit heritage thrives and the Arctic’s timeless beauty reigns.
