Wildlife thrives in the surrounding wilderness, with opportunities to spot polar bears, seals, and seabirds along the coastline.
Journey into the ancient landscapes of Hurry Inlet, home to some of the world’s most significant Triassic plant fossils and dinosaur remains. Explore the towering cliffs and ice-sculpted fjords of Scoresbysund, the largest fjord system in the world, once home to the Thule culture and later resettled in the 1920s. This region’s rich geological and human history creates a fascinating contrast to its untouched Arctic beauty.
As the expedition nears its conclusion, enjoy another day of relaxation at sea.
