East Greenland and the mighty fjords around Sermilik with M/S Balto

In the heart of the Greenlandic wilderness lies a hidden gem waiting to be explored – the grand Sermilik fjord and its surrounding areas, full of beautiful hiking opportunities. In many terms, these parts of the world are still undiscovered. We are greeted by towering mountain chains, calving glaciers, icebergs of all shapes and crystal-clear waters. The nutritious waters provide a feeding ground for both humpbacks and fin whales, and if lucky, we will encounter these giants of the sea.

From the end of August, we also have the chance to see the magical Northern Lights dancing across the sky. We also get unique insight into the Inuit culture, their way of life, traditional practices, and cultural heritage. This natural wonder of East Greenland is so much more than a destination, it’s a true experience of a lifetime! Photo credit: Sebastian Lehrkea.
