East Greenland Expedition by Small Ship
11 days - Sep - From US $ 3,210

Discover the beauty of Greenland--from the multicolored autumn shades of the indigenous vegetation in sharp contrast with the dark mountains in the distance, to the cool blue hues of the icebergs that float past the ship. Aboard a Russian research vessel, you will spend 11 days surrounded by this beauty. You can walk in the footsteps of history as you explore settlements left from those that lived on Greenland 200 years ago. You will marvel at the sight of the musk ox and polar bear in their natural habitat, and may even have an opportunity to experience and meet the culture and people that still live and work on the harsh Greenland tundra.

While at sea, you can see the majestic blue whale (the largest animal on earth), the mythical narwhal (the whale that perpetuated the unicorn myth) and revel in the beauty and mystery that is the Aurora Borealis. Greenland and the High Arctic is a place of both beauty and memories that combine to make this an adventure you will not soon forget.
