Remote Coast of East Greenland

Longyearbyen to Reykjavik - Aboard Polar Star

Throughout time, the Polar Regions have had a mystical allure. Today this attraction is perhaps even stronger after the recent International Polar Year and heightened concern about global warming. Witness firsthand the Arctic environment with its stunning scenery and elusive wildlife. The tales of the early explorers will spellbind as we visit settlers' huts and today's Inuit settlement, and then take a walk in this dramatic natural landscape. Cruise among the pack ice and late summer icebergs and scan the expansive tundra for signs of wildlife, the waters for marine life and the skies for seabirds.
