Day
1: Arrive in Toronto, Canada
Arrive
at Toronto Pearson International Airport and make your way to your
included hotel in Toronto. The rest of the day is yours to explore the
multicultural city of Toronto.
Day
2: Fly to Kangerlussuaq and Embark
This
morning you’ll catch your charter flight to Kangerlussuaq,
where you’ll board your vessel and begin your expedition. Get
ready for a great adventure ahead! Expect a welcome and safety briefing
from your Expedition Leader.
Day
3: At Sea
As
we sail north along the west coast to our first area of exploration,
your Expedition Team will prepare you for the adventures that lie
ahead. Once activity and excursion briefings are completed, our
education team will schedule presentations on the wildlife and
fascinating history of Greenland, its geology, ecology and climate, and
the incredible sights you will soon explore.
Days
4 to 6: Uummanaq Fjord
Uummannaq
Fjord is the second-largest fjord system in Greenland surpassed only by
Scoresbysund in east Greenland. On these itinerary days you will have
the opportunity to become one of few people ever to explore this area
in depth and travel beyond the predictable tourist destinations. The
fjord is full of cultural and natural wonders. Potential excursions
include visits to the town of Uummanaq, venturing into Qilakitsoq (the
site where the famous Greenland Mummies were discovered) and excursions
focused around Store Glacier and its immense discharge zone.
You’ll embrace the expeditionary spirit as we pioneer new
destinations within the labyrinth of valleys and channels in the depths
of the fjord.
Quark
Expeditions’ core belief in working closely with our local
partners will enhance every experience as we explore alongside local
experts. We’ll draw on our team’s collective
knowledge and expertise to deliver incredible experiences.
Days
7 and 8: Disko Bay
Disko
Bay Is a wide, southeastern inlet of Baffin Bay and is the largest open
bay in western Greenland. Try to get out on deck as we navigate into
this iconic bay where whales are often spotted. Disko Bay is full of
exciting destinations for us to explore. We will almost certainly visit
the community of Illulissat, which is situated at the head of outlet
fjord for Sermeq Kujalleq (Jakobshavn Glacier) , known for discharging
35 billion tons of ice each year. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site
in 2004, the fjord is immensely beautiful and we will encourage you to
explore it via one of the many marked hiking trails.
Another
area we will consider for this itinerary is the wild beauty of Equip
Sermia or Torsukatak Fjords, located in the northeast corner of Disko
Bay. Both of these remote areas offer fantastic vistas of large active
glacial faces and provide plenty of opportunities for hiking, paddling,
and Zodiac cruising. This is also an area where, if conditions allow,
we will consider utilizing our twin- engine helicopters to get you in
the air to appreciate the immensity of this region.
Days
9 and 10: Qeqqata
Qeqqata
(meaning centre) municipality is Greenland’s second smallest
administrative region. Situated in the middle of the
country’s western coast, Qeqqata is home to almost 20% of
Greenland’s populace, most of whom reside in Sisimiut and
Manitsoq.
During
these two days your expedition team will work with our local partners
to curate a balance of community and wilderness-focused activities. We
are likely to visit Sisimiut, where you can wonder through the open air
museum, participate in local tastings or join a hiking group to venture
beyond the town limits along one of many incredible hiking trails on
Sisimiut’s doorstep. This is where we will also offer the
(paid) mountain biking activity.
Further
south, the areas surrounding Manitsoq are equally stunning. One of our
favorite destinations in the area is the picturesque alpine lake of
Innussuit Tasersuat, which we can hike and share a picnic with friends
from Manitsoq. The fjord systems behind Manitsoq are deep and seldom
visited. Our team will seek to take you beyond the ordinary and into
these fjords for magical one-of-a-kind experiences, one of which is
Eternity Fjord, which is home to the tallest mountains in all of West
Greenland.
Day
11: Kangerlussuaq
Today,
we disembark in Kangerlussuaq and transfer you to your charter flight
to Toronto, where you’ll spend the night in your included

Day
