Arctic Safari

A longtime dream came true with the chance to visit Greenland and the Canadian Arctic on a 12-day cruise with Adventure Canada. Our home was the Ocean Endeavour and an amazing vessel for the expedition in and out of the many fjords and ice flows. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the landscape and the people. I am already dreaming of …

Wild Greenland and Canada: Earth, Iron, and Ice

I didn't know what I'd be getting into-- just my dad and me, on a ship together with 180 strangers for 15 days. The itinerary looked like a real adventure: hopping on a charter flight from Toronto to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, and from there exploring majestic fjords, glaciers, and tundra along some of the most remote coastlines in the world. When …

Looking over the icebergs. So sandwiched together!

Ice Ice, Oh my!

The morning into Disko Bay is one of the most memorable days of our cruise. We entered these calm waters to be greeted by hundreds of icebergs in every shape/size you might imagine. Our excitement grew as the icebergs started getting packed together as this was the sign we were entering the mouth of the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier in the Illulissat …

Northern Bottlenose Whale Davis Strait

Whale Watching in the Davis Strait

I'm talking with our Arctic cruise expedition leader at the bridge, curious about our progress across the Davis Strait from Greenland to Canada. Suddenly one of my fellow passengers shouts "whale, 1 o'clock". I push open the door and shout for the kids. A second whale breaches at 2 o'clock, followed by several others. Within …

The newest members of the Sissimiut dog sled team

The Arctic Adventure Continues in Sisimiut

This morning we stop in Sisimiut, a picturesque village of colorful homes scattered on the hillside over the town. We walk around the town and visit the sled dogs that are housed just outside the town. I stop by the post office and spend a small fortune ($15) for two postcards and stamps. This afternoon we visit a mostly abandoned fishing …

Kittiwakes at the Arctic's Sondrestrom Fjord

Exploring Sondrestrom Fjord

Today during our Arctic adventure, we explore a glacier in the Sondrestrom Fjord via zodiac. The glacier is an impressive wall of ice. Kittiwakes fly around the nearby bird cliffs and the ice reflects brilliant blues and crystal clear prisms. This afternoon we stop for an unscheduled hike to a lake. A waterfall cascades beside our path as the 3 …

Walking on the Greenland Ice Cap

Thanks to the last minute adjustments that had to be made to our itinerary to accommodate ice conditions, we end up with a free morning to head inland to the Greenland ice cap before boarding the plane home. This is the second largest ice sheet in the world and covers over 80% of the Greenland surface. More than 99% of the freshwater ice in the …

Belize adventures I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
