13-night Baffin Bay Secrets Cruise

Kangerlussuaq is a long Fjord just north of the polar circle, in western Greenland. This Fjord is unique because if its nature and rich biodiversity. The surrounding landscape features glaciers that feed into the Fjord, as well as plains covered in plants, wildflowers, and greenery. The Fjord is also home to a number of wildlife including musk ox, reindeer, and arctic foxes. Visitors are in for a treat when visiting this beautiful region of Greenland.

 Disko Island is famous for its huge basalt mountains, and the highest peaks on the west coast are found near Uummannaq. The cliffs are home to spectacular colonies of seabirds, and the whole coast is busy with glaciers and ice fields. Some of the world's most productive and fast-moving glaciers are to be seen here.

Canada’s Devon Island is the largest uninhabited island on Earth, and the 27th largest island in the world. A third is covered by a large ice cap, and the rest is primarily barren due to the cold temperatures. Muskoxen and lemmings live on the north coast in the Truelove Lowland area, as well as a notable small bird population. The Mars-like terrain has been used as a research ground for NASA and other arctic scientific research.

Nuuk was founded by the unfailingly optimistic Hans Egede - the Danish missionary with soul-conversions on his mind - who promptly named the settlement Good Hope. Today Nuuk is small by modern standards, with a total population of only 14,000. Despite a wealth of land and a paucity of people, Nuuk has insisted on housing the population in immense apartment blocks with imaginative names like Blok P - a kind of Gulag on ice - and the urban sprawl is now spreading out along the road to the airport. Kolonihavnen is a pleasant exception to the rest of Nuuk's Lego-city look: it's a picturesque 18th-century fishing village in the heart of Nuuk and gives some idea of what the town looked like before the industrial harbour was built. Nuuk's real attraction lies in its proximity to any number of excellent day hikes into the hinterland and the fabulous views from the tops of the nearby mountains. Organised tours, boat trips and the rental of equipment is easier from the capital.
