Day 1: Constable Pynt | Embark

Fly by chartered plane from Keflavik and land at Constable Pynt, the airfield at the end of Hurry Inlet. The area is full of geological history.

Day 2: Volquart Boons Coast

Take in the views as you cruise along the icy Volquart Boons Coast. You can hop on a Zodiac boat and explore one of the glacier fronts along the shore, kicking off your adventure near Månegletcher or Vikingebugt.

Day 3: Milne Land

Sail by the east coast of Milne Land among a multitude of giant icebergs. If landing at Charcot Havn is possible, make a walk to the Charcot Glacier before continuing by the Bjørneør and sailing to Øfjord.

Day 4-7: Mountain-fringed fjord

Today marks a visit to the east entrance of one of the most impressive fjords in the world: Ø Fjord is almost 40 nautical miles long (74 km, 46 miles), with mountains on each side up to 2,000 meters high (6,562 feet), and icebergs that drift over depths of more than 1,000 meters (3,281 feet). The aim is to land at Jyttehavn and hike the tundra in mythic surroundings. Sailing into Harefjord, Rypefjord, and Rödefjord, walking into C. Hoffmanhalvöya and Storö are also possible. Then, land near Sydkap, where you can see colossal icebergs, some of them over 100 meters (328 feet) high and more than a kilometer long (.62 miles). Most of these bergs are grounded, as the fjord is only about 400 meters deep (1,312 feet). At Sakatajik, view the remains of Thule winter houses. As many as twenty people lived here once, hunting Greenland whales and building houses out of their vertebrae.

Day 8: Jameson Land

At the western shores of Jameson Land lies a vast tundra with grazing musk oxen. Attempt to make a landing on one of the areas, such as Tyskit Nunat, remembering Alfred Wegener’s efforts to cross Vandreblokken. Visiting Kap Hooker or a lovely lagoon west of Kap Stewart is also an option.

Day 9: Ittoqqortoormiit

Today’s stop is Ittoqqortoormiit, the largest settlement in Scoresbysund, with about five hundred inhabitants. At the post office, buy stamps for postcards or stroll around to see sled dogs and drying skins of seals and musk oxen.

Day 10: The hikes of Hurry Inlet

In the morning, you stop on the south coast of Jameson Land, at a lagoon near Kap Stewart. Here, the waders and geese are collecting for their autumn migration, and musk oxen and collared lemmings survive on the meager vegetation. Further inside Hurry Inlet, you may take a walk near the head of the fjord as well as one of the rivers that terminate here. Here is a chance to climb up the mountain of J.P. Koch Fjeld, near Hareelv. In this remarkable area, scientists found fossils that linked fish and amphibians in the lower Cretaceous period. You spend the night at anchor off Constable Pynt.

Day 11: Constable Pynt | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
 Take the chartered plane from Constable Pynt to Keflavik taking home memories for a lifetime.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
