Northern Lights Explorer on the Sylvia Earle

Shorter days in the high latitudes means darkening evening skies, so on this voyage we stay close to the coastlines of the Arctic Circle, skirting around the Norwegian and Greenland seas, and exploring remote islands and villages of the region. As night falls, we look skywards hoping to catch the magic of the northern lights. This spectacular natural phenomenon offers a surreal light display as vibrant hues of blue, green, pink and violet dance across the night sky. Places located near the Arctic Circle such as northern Norway, Iceland and Greenland, are some of the best places in the world to witness this stunning light show.

Attempt a landing on the remote volcanic island of Jan Mayen, home to Mount Beerenberg, the northernmost active volcano globally. Jan Mayen's isolation and unique landscape make it a rare and intriguing destination. ​

Discover Scoresbysund, the world's largest fjord system, renowned for its colossal icebergs and stunning scenery. Explore the vast fjord network, observe Arctic wildlife, and engage with the local Inuit community in Ittoqqortoormiit.
