Greenland: Disko Bay & Beyond | Ocean Albatros Expedition Ship

The journey begins in Kangerlussuaq, a remote settlement surrounded by vast Arctic landscapes. The town developed from its location at the end of a long fjord which extends far into the interior of the land. The town developed as a strategic air base during the mid-20th century and remains one of Greenland’s primary transport gateways. Travelers begin their journey through the striking Kangerlussuaq Fjord after they arrive at their destination. The landscape displays a combination of rocky hills together with tundra plains and glacial valleys which developed through millennia of ice activity. The ship moves toward Western Greenland waters which make it clear that we are entering one of the world's remaining unspoiled wilderness areas.

The town of Sisimiut welcomes visitors with a unique chance to discover Greenlandic heritage through its historical and cultural offerings. The town serves as Denmark's second largest city because it houses about 5,400 people who create a vital hub for fishing activities and educational institutions and business operations. The archaeological evidence shows that Inuit people from ancient times established their settlement in this area during the distant past. The town shows an interesting combination of past traditions with present-day activities which makes for an interesting community. Visitors can explore the historic museum district which displays wooden buildings painted in cheerful hues that preserve the colonial architecture of Sisimiut. The area features hiking trails which let visitors watch ocean views while they discover ancient Greenlandic settlements that reveal how the first people of Greenland lived.
