Spend the next few days along the southern tip of Greenland. Start by sailing towards the Skjoldungen Fjords and its rugged, spectacular, lonesome scenery. There is very little human presence here with no current or recent settlement. Depending on weather, the group will take zodiacs to shore and visit the Qoornoq site, which are archaeological remains. Then, sail through Prince Christian Sound with its towering mountains, massive glaciers, and a variety of icebergs along the southernmost tip of Greenland. If possible, visit Aappilattoq, often referred to as “The Patagonia of the North” and one of the most remote settlements in the region nestled at the intersection of two long fjords. Next up, visit Hvalsey, a major viking settlement in Greenland established in the 10th century. The ruins are well-preserved and include the church, making it a fascinating place to explore Norse history.
