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 Aappilattoq
Aappilattoq (Augpilatok) is a small Inuit village of around 100 inhabitants, whose name means... see+ “Sea Anemone” in Greenlandic. Located in a mountainous region inaccessible by road, its picturesque, colorful houses stretch along the southern tip of Greenland, on the shores of the spectacular Prins Christian Sund. Some one hundred kilometers long, it links the Labrador Sea to the Irminger Sea, winding its way through sublime landscapes such as majestic glaciers, craggy peaks and rocky cliffs with waterfalls fed by the ice sheet. Uninhabited in the 19th century, the village was established in the 1920s, and its main activities are hunting, fishing and animal husbandry.

In the 10th century, Vikings settled here and established a large community. During your stopover in this land steeped in history, you'll pass 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 testimony to a bygone era.

From your ship, discover the town of Narsaq and be dazzled by the beauty of the surrounding icebergs, great masses of ice of changing shapes and colors. Dominated by verdant mountains, this small, typical Greenland town is nestled in the heart of a majestic landscape.

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.

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.
