Day 7: South Greenland
Visit Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage SitePay a visit to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Norse settlement history intersects with contemporary Greenlandic life.
Admire the jagged mountains that rise from beyond green pastures, with sheep farms directly bordering ice fjords.
Along its southern coast, Greenland lives up to its name; the land is fertile, agriculture thrives, and farms and vegetable husbandry contrast with the ice that covers so much of the rest of the country.

Day 8: Hvalsey
Immerse Yourself in Viking ArchaeologyWalk amongst the ruins of captivating history!
Learn more about the settlement at haunting Hvalsey, a major Norse centre in the early centuries of the last millennium.
Hvalsey Church is the best-preserved Norse ruin in Greenland—the last known record from the original Norse colony is of a wedding held here in September 1408!

Day 9: Brattahlíð
Tour a Reconstructed Norse SettlementVisit fascinating Brattahlíð, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the most fertile region of Greenland.
Walk amongst a reconstructed Norse church and Viking longhouse to fully immerse yourself in the experience.
It was once the home of Viking explorer Erik the Red and his descendants until the 1400s. Today, Greenlandic Inuit run the sheep farms originally worked by Norse settlers.
-

Day 10: Sermersooq
Enjoy Birdwatching & Zodiac CruisingExplore the Sermersooq region of Greenland by Zodiac or by foot, as landing conditions permit.
Here you’ll find a stunning myriad of mountain peaks, glaciers, and deep fjords, with records of human habitation that stretch back over 1,500 years.
Keep a look out for nattoralik (white-tailed eagles), seabirds, and marine mammals while you enjoy the lush vegetation of southwest Greenland.

Day 11: Nuuk
Visit Museums, Shops, and CafésStop in at vibrant Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
Visit the Greenland National Museum, one of the city’s many outstanding features, where the world-famous Qilakitsoq mummies rest.
The old harbour includes many buildings dating from Danish colonial days, while contemporary Nuuk is known for art, shopping, pubs, and cafés.

Day 12: Kangerlussuatsiaq Fjord (Evighedsfjorden)
Take a Zodiac Cruise at the Foot of a GlacierSee why Kangerlussuatsiaq lives up to its Danish name, Evighedsfjorden, which means “the fjord of eternity.”
Marvel at this complex coastal waterway that includes calving glaciers, sheer bird cliffs, and streams cascading against a towering mountain backdrop.
Explore this sublime glacial landscape by ship and by Zodiac.
The waters here are relatively warm, due to the West Greenland Current and the subarctic location.
-

Day 13: Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Cross the Arctic CircleComplete your journey up Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Søndre Strømfjord), a 190-kilometre-long fjord surrounded by mountains and glaciers, and cross the Arctic Circle on your way.
Kangerlussuaq, the settlement at the head of the fjord, is a former US Air Force base and Greenland’s primary flight hub.
Transfer by Zodiac to shore, then ride to the airport by bus for your charter flight to Toronto, ON.
