Riding a zodiac through a glacier in Greenland

I had an opportunity to go on an Arctic expedition cruise in May 2024, charting a course through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Greenland and Iceland. Buckle up as I take you on a journey where glaciers meet fiery volcanoes, and the serenity of nature is beyond compare.


As our ship charted northward through the icy blue waters, every moment felt like a scene straight out of a nature documentary. The vast fjords of Greenland greeted us with their grandeur, towering icebergs floating regally as we navigated silently through the crisp, Arctic air. One morning, we anchored near an isolated Greenlandic village, where the warmth of the local people was a beautiful contrast to the crisp chill of the environment. Their stories, traditions, and laughter enriched our experience beyond measure. 


Iceland offered its own dramatic landscapes, with cascading waterfalls, active geysers, and volcanic terrain. Standing at the edge of a mighty waterfall, energy and mist enveloping the scene, I truly felt the pulse of nature’s power.


Onboard the ship, it was about relaxation and discovery. Luxurious yet sustainable, our expedition cruise was designed for those eager to cherish the untouched beauty of this region with the Expedition Experts as our guides. After a day full of explorations, sharing tales with fellow adventurers in the cozy lounge felt like a global gathering of kindred spirits. This journey through Greenland and Iceland was more than just a trip; it was a deep dive into the soul of our planet's extremes. It was absolutely life changing!
