East Greenland Tours

Arctic Expedition Aboard the Akademik Shokalskiy

 

Single Travelers: No Single Supplement on this Voyage!
 

East Greenland is one of the world’s most isolated regions — released from the icy grip of sea ice and open to the world only five months out of the year. This rugged coast is home to fascinating polar landscapes, wildlife and cultures. International Expeditions’ Arctic expedition allows you to explore these breathtaking lands in all of their glory.
 
 
On this Arctic journey to East Greenland, travel north of the Arctic Circle — setting foot in places few humans have ever gone. Along with an infinite variety of ice and glaciers, fjords and snow-capped mountains, on this Arctic expedition we’ll look for musk oxen, seabirds and whales. Sailing the ice edge, we’ll also lower Zodiac landing craft for a chance to cruise among the icebergs and go ashore.
 
An expert Arctic expedition team aboard the Akademik Shokalskiy will ensure that your memories of the region include a thorough knowledge and understanding of the area, giving presentations on a range of topics from Arctic flora to the physics of ice to the indigenous populations.
