Prior to the trip I recommend arriving in Iceland no later than 2nd August, the day before the excursion

 

Day 1: (3rd August)

We’ll meet at the domestic ariport and leave Iceland’s capital and take a two-hour flight to Constable Point airport, Greenland. After landing, the group will board the ship that will be our home for the next week. We’ll have a full safety briefing and discuss any additional information about the journey to come. We’ll then head to village of Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most remote yet incredibly located settlements in the world. Less than 500 people call this town home, and the locals are a hardy bunch that rely on hunting, gathering and fishing to get by. There’s plenty to shoot here, from the rugged residents to their colourful houses and the breathtaking landscape all around.

Day 2:

At the break of dawn, we set sail across the Scoresby Sound fjord system towards the south coast where we'll be greeted by towering basalt peaks. En route, we'll navigate through majestic icebergs that have calved from the parent glaciers and now sway gently with the Arctic currents. As the day progresses, we'll make our way towards Hekla Havn, a former Inuit settlement on Denmark Ø, where the first scientific expedition to Scoresby Sound over a century ago established their wintering camp. Here, we'll likely drop anchor in the late evening, ready to explore the historic site and capture the stunning scenery in our photographs.

​

Day 3:

On the fourth day, we will be greeted by the stunning basalt mountains and steep cliffs flanking the Føhnfjord. Gåseland's majestic peaks will rise on our left, while the towering 2,000 meter-high cliffs of Milne Land will dominate the right side of the horizon. We will then continue our journey through the picturesque Harefjord, where we will have ample opportunities to capture the beautiful scenery around us. Next, we will sail through Rødefjord, where we will witness more mesmerizing ice formations and practice our photography skills. We will spend two nights in the area, taking full advantage of the breathtaking Arctic landscapes, icy waterways, and rugged rock formations.

 

Day 4:

The next destination on the itinerary is Rødefjord, a serene and vegetation-rich part of the fjord known for its vibrant autumn colors. The fjord is often dotted with large icebergs and ice crusts from breaking icebergs. While sailing through the fjord, we may encounter muskoxen grazing on the hillsides. We will make a short hike at an ideal spot to capture photos of the colorful vegetation and wildlife. Later in the day, we will anchor at Harefjord, where we can capture photos of the beautiful northern lights if the sky is clear.

​

Day 5:

During the sixth day of the tour, we will sail through Harefjord and continue our journey towards Øfjord, where we will be able to witness the magnificent sight of jagged mountain peaks emerging from the water, and pass under towering granite cliffs that reach over 200 meters in height. This experience will be unforgettable, regardless of whether you choose to capture it on camera or not. Our expert photographer will be there to guide you and provide valuable advice to help you make the most of this incredible photography opportunity. After we anchor at Jyttes Havn in Bjørneøe, you will have more opportunities to take stunning photos of the beautiful coastal landscapes, lakes, and imposing cliffs that the area is famous for.

​

Day 6:

We will continue our voyage towards the east, passing through the mesmerizing Øfjord, which is considered one of the most stunning parts of the journey. The towering mountain peaks and granite walls rising over 2,000 meters from the sea create a breathtaking scenery that reminds one of the Patagonian mountains of Fitzroy and Cerro Torre. If the weather conditions permit, the midday sea breeze in Øfjord will enable the sails to be set and you are welcome to help with the rigging. Our day will end with us anchoring at Bear Islands.

Day 7: During the final night of our expedition, we will navigate through the channel between the Bear Islands and Milne Land, which offers a breathtaking view of the stunning archipelago. This area is well-known for showcasing some of the largest and most impressive icebergs of the entire journey, making it an ideal spot for capturing memorable photographs.

​

Day 8: (10th August) 

On the final day, we will find ourselves anchored at the airstrip in Constable Point, where we will disembark and conclude our unforgettable photography. 
We'll board our plane and head back to Iceland.
We'll be back in the afternoon.
