Had a great 3-week trip to
Greenland (with
Josh Holko and
Daniel Bergmann) and
Iceland (with my nieces Ruthie & Zoe) September 2019.
In eastern
Greenland, did a week-long trip on the ketch
Donna Wood through
Scoresby Sound, which is the largest fjord system in the world, and spectacularly beautiful. It doesn't become navigable until mid-July, as shown in these
satellite images.
We flew into
Constable Point (Nerlerit Inaat Airport), boarded the ship, and sailed the
Hurry Fjord to the Inuit village of
Ittoqqortoormiit.
We then sailed across the open Sound to the
Bear (Bjorne) Islands near the eastern end of
Øfjord, and then traversed the
Øfjord,
Snesund,
Rødefjord and
Fønfjord fjords around
Milne Land. Thereafter we cruised through
Vikingebugt Inlet, finally returning to
Ittoqqortoormiit village, and then
Constable Point.
