GREENLAND

Greenland is a land of contrasts and truly a world of its own. Colossal icebergs in fantastic shapes and the inland ice - a sheet of ice that is kilometers thick. But the ice is not all. Greenland is also about green mountains, long fjords, precipitous cliffs, hot springs, beautiful wild flowers and fresh air. Animals like whales, seals, reindeer, musk oxen and polar bears also thrive here.

Discover Iceland's ruggedly wild and singular beauty, and encounter its diverse wildlife, rich culture and welcoming people. Many of the expedition cruises completely circumnavigates the mystical North Atlantic island, so you totally experience one of the most unique places on Earth.

WILD LANDSCAPES OF WEST GREENLAND
West Greenland Expedition

Welcome to Aurora's Wild Landscapes of West Greenland expedition. Home to the northernmost capital in the world, Nuuk, the west coast of Greenland may be the most inhabited part of the world's largest island, but you're unlikely to encounter many people outside of Nuuk. With no road to connect the townships, flying or sea travel are the only options available. The further north we venture along the west coast, the smaller and more isolated the settlements become. We push through the sea ice, calved from the enormous Greenland ice sheet to where few tourists venture, to explore hidden bays glittering with icebergs and where whales may shelter.
