Zuid-Groenland met o.a. Prins Christian Sund & ongekende berglandschappen
Om naar de oostkust te komen moet er door de Prins Christian Sund gevaren worden. Een indrukwekkende vaarweg tussen hoge bergruggen. Als de omstandigheden het toelaten, kan een landing gemaakt worden bij de nederzetting Auqpilaqtoq. In dit pittoreske plaatsje leven de mensen nog hoofdzakelijk van visvangst en de jacht.
Alternatief kan er bij Svaerdfiskens Havn aan land gegaan kan worden. Eveneens een kleine gemeenschap met kleurrijke huisjes verscholen in het ruige landschap.
We’ll transit through the scenic 105-kilometer long Prins Christian Sund Fjord (Ikerasassuaq), and explore the dramatic fjords of South Greenland. Our team has planned a visit to the village of Aappilattoq, where you can experience local culture, music, and traditional foods. The journey continues to the steep-walled 70-kilometer Tasermiut Fjord, known as Arctic Patagonia, where overnight camping and various excursions are available amidst stunning glaciers and peaks. The maze of fjords, sounds, islets, inlets and skerries (rocky islands) in and around Cape Farewell (Nunap Isua) at Greenland’s most southern tip reveals a magic found nowhere else. Transiting the Prins Christian Sund Fjord (Ikerasassuaq)—one of the world’s most scenic fjords—will be truly unforgettable. Guests can then look forward to dramatic mountain and seascapes with glaciers sweeping down to the coast, and spectacular vistas around every corner. Inhabiting this domain are Southern Greenlanders living on the frontier, a people as unique as the landscape they call home. This is where the migrating hunting peoples from the east finally settled around the European trading posts. The few villages in this southern region have gained a level of fame thanks to the inhabitants who remain steadfastly faithful to their hunting and fishing heritage. Your time in Arctic Patagonia will allow you to marvel at the impressive glacier at its head, with rivers of ice tumbling toward the sea, and the imposing peaks of Nalumasortoq and Ulamertorsuaq that dominate the skyline, making for the most scenic backdrops to your hike or helicopter excursion.
