East Greenland Northern Lights Expedition

Fly from Akureyri, Iceland, to Constable Point, Greenland, and embark Captain Arctic.

Explore the vast fjord systems of Scoresby Sund and the remote wilderness of Northeast Greenland, with the route shaped by weather, ice conditions and wildlife movements. Navigate past cathedral-like icebergs, glacier-carved valleys and rugged mountains, with opportunities to kayak, paddleboard, explore by Zodiac and hike ashore. Possible areas of exploration include the mountainous Renland Peninsula, the remote Muskox Fjord, the autumn-coloured landscapes around Gåseland and Red Island, and the coastal region near Ittoqqortoormiit, where encounters with local Inuit communities offer insight into life in the Arctic. Keep watch for muskoxen, Arctic foxes and other wildlife, and look to the skies after dark for the Northern Lights. With Captain Arctic’s small size and agile design, enjoy unhurried explorations, closer access to remote locations and the flexibility to make the most of each day’s conditions.

Experience East Greenland in early autumn, when vibrant tundra landscapes, dramatic icebergs and darkening Arctic skies create ideal conditions for exploration and Northern Lights viewing. The final route and daily activities will depend on weather, ice and wildlife conditions.
