At sea - Greenland Tasiilaq Sermilik
In Tasiilaq, on Ammassalik Island, follow in the footsteps of the famous Pourquoi Pas? captain... see+ Jean-Baptiste Charcot's ship, which set out in 1935 with its crew to discover this island of rugged, primeval beauty, unexplored until the end of the 19th century. Along with Ittoqqortoormiit, a village of 500 inhabitants located at the entrance to Scoresby Sund, 800 kilometers further north, the village of Tasiilaq and its surroundings is the only inhabited area on the east coast of Greenland. The island's name refers to the capelin, small flamboyant silvery fish whose presence by the thousands heralds the return of spring. A surprising discovery in a spectacular setting.

You'll be amazed by the breathtaking scenery of the Sermilik fjord, the largest in southeast Greenland. To the north, above the glacial valleys, the Schweitzerland alpine massif stretches into the distance, its peaks rising to over 3,000 metres, while to the south, where it opens onto the Irminger Sea, the relief has been shaped by severe erosion. Three main glaciers calve a multitude of sparkling icebergs that drift serenely in the indigo waters of this majestic fjord. It owes its name to the Inuit word Sermilik, which generally designates a fjord into which a glacier flows, and was only mapped in 1884 by Danish explorer Gustav Holm and his crew, during their wintering in the Ammassalik region.

Sermilik Skjoldungen
Discover the island of Skjoldungen, on the southeast coast of Greenland. This uninhabited land... see+ offers magnificent landscapes that are sure to dazzle you. The island is surrounded by a sublime fjord whose distinctive feature is its double entrance: it forms a bend before joining the sea on the other side. Mountains, glacial valleys, rocky peaks, tundra and willow forests form a picture of beauty that you can admire up close when you disembark on site. A stopover in unspoilt wilderness, where it's not unusual to come across bearded seals and orcas, as well as birds such as the redpoll, the mottled traquet and the raven.

Skjoldungen Prince Christian Sund
Your ship glides silently toward the Greenlandic coast, against a backdrop of jagged mountains and... see+ majestic glaciers… You are about to cross the Prins Christian Sund, a narrow channel that stretches and zigzags for about 100 kilometers between southeastern and southwestern Greenland. Let yourself be enchanted by the unspoiled beauty of these unique landscapes, with rocky cliffs and waterfalls fed by the ice sheet plunging sheer into the icy waters. Here, bearded seals love to engage in sunbathing, lying on the floating ice.

Prince Christian Sund Hvalso Igaliku
All around you stretches a grassy moor rich with flowers, dotted with imposing granite boulders. A... see+ few sheep and semi-wild horses welcome you—the only inhabitants of this place, surrounded by stunning mountains. You are in Hvalsø, in the heart of the fertile lands of southern Greenland. During the 10th century, this site was settled by the Vikings, who established a significant community here. During your stopover in these lands steeped in history, you’ll pass by the ruins of a church whose remains are still very well preserved. Most likely built in the 14th century, it has lost its wooden roof but still proudly displays its four stone walls, a moving testament to a bygone era.
Nestled at the southern point of Greenland, Igaliku offers a peaceful panorama, dominated by high mountains with snow-capped peaks and valleys bursting with flowers on sunny days. Home to the first Viking agricultural settlements, this bucolic village is home to the ruins of the Garðar religious site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ikka Nuuk
When Erik the Red, the impetuous Viking chieftain banished from Iceland, landed on the shores of... see+ Nuuk, he discovered a welcoming, fertile land dotted with fjords. Inhabited by an entire population of Vikings who joined him in the 10th century, it has since become a refuge for Inuit populations. Nuuk lies at the mouth of one of the world's largest fjord systems, where the sea is never frozen over. The city stretches gently across the Davis Strait and boasts a historic center with a particularly rich heritage. The bright red, blue, green and yellow of the houses contrast with the dark Greenlandic water, warming the hearts and minds of the inhabitants in winter.

Here, colorful houses on stilts dot the rolling landscape, while the small fishing port opens the door to an icy world.

Sisimiut Eqi Glacier
“The most beautiful place in the Arctic”... That's how extreme explorer Paul-Émile Victor... see+ described Greenland, land of great icebergs and dungeons calved by the immense glaciers of the polar ice cap. The Eqi glacier is one of these impressive giants. Here, the silence is broken only by the crashing of the ice. Imagine the long profile of the glacier, facing the sun, its crystalline or translucent ice revealing a multitude of bluish hues. Don't miss the Paul-Émile Victor refuge, where French polar expeditions set off to study the ice sheet in the 1950s.
