Day 4 - Thursday - Sep 28, 2023
Northeast Greenland National Park, Greenland, Denmark, Denmark
Northeast Greenland National Park, Greenland, Denmark, Denmark      
Encompassing roughly 80 percent of the surface of Greenland, the Greenland ice sheet is the second-largest body of ice in the world. Weather and ice will dictate our exact route, but we plan to explore well north of Scoresbysund in the largest national park in the world-Northeast Greenland National Park. We will also set a course for Scoresbysund, the largest and longest fjord system on earth, with the village of Ittoqqortoormiit at its entrance. Being the end of summer, the ice will have retreated as far as it ever does, allowing us to explore the fjords, bays, and nooks and crannies of this stunning coastline. We hope to see the iconic Arctic wildlife: polar bears, seals, and whales. We'll also be on constant watch for the northern lights, conditions permitting. (B,L,D)
