Scoresby Sund Explorer- Micro Expedition Cruise in Remote East Greenland

September marks a unique time in Scoresby Sund, on Greenland’s east coast. The summer-to-autumn transition paints the scenery with soothing fall colors, while the tundra turns and the air grows crisper. The season’s light and colors invite careful observation.

Around the equinox dark skies provide opportunities to capture the ethereal aurora borealis as it streaks over Scoresby Sund. For travelers, the Scoresby Sund explorer micro expedition cruise in east Greenland offers an intimate look at shorelines and wildlife.

The sheer scale of Scoresby Sund is breathtaking. Dramatic views unfold at each turn. Towering peaks plunge into deep icy waters. Their stark beauty is mirrored in the glassy fjord surfaces that stretch for miles.

Giant sculpted icebergs run aground among Bjorn Ø (the Bear Islands). The icebergs add scale to the scene .

Exploring Scoresby Sund in September offers a chance to witness the light and shadow across the landscape around autumnal equinox. Additionally, photographers may capture golden silhouettes of icebergs on mirror-calm mornings.

Every evening we will be on the lookout for the aurora borealis painting the sky with dancing ribbons of green light.

Limited to 12 guests, you will be guided through Scoresby Sund by two expert guides who will help you capture the grandeur and beauty of this remote region.
